NWS has issued over 700 warnings for severe t-storms, tornadoes or flash flooding since 8am Wed. All while short-staffed. Truly incredible work, as always!

Large-scale greenhouse gas reductions will take time to return most of Earth to pre-industrial climates, a study in #AMSJCli suggests. Several decades later, only a few areas are likely to “de-emerge” say authors @hunterdouglas.bsky.social, @andrewkingclimate.bsky.social et al.

Thank you to the @ametsoc.org for a forceful, clear-worded statement of what cuts to NOAA and NWS risk. Hopefully members of Congress see this and act because the administration has no interest in this.

There might be a lot to be upset about, and things may seem dark… but the kindness and generosity of people will never cease to humble and astound me.
Thank you.

Reminder weather balloon data gets directly fed into computer models.
Less balloons = less data = less forecast model accuracy.
And, of course, fewer NWS meteorologists = fewer eyes on the weather.
A sad day for American and global meteorology.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.
