The second is that the NWS historically has done a very good job at that forecast contextualization (outreach to local governments, emergency managers, outdoor recreation facilities, etc.). But that's one of the first things to go away when offices are critically understaffed.

Predicting such storms is at the cutting edge of science right now, and the stakes are rising in a warming world in which they are intensifying. Yet this is precisely the kind of research that NOAA/NSF have funded in the U.S. over decades that is at imminent risk of disappearing.

😂 this is amazing parenting. Reminds me of when we suggested to our 4-year-old that he try subbing “urgently” for “NOW,” leading to things like, “Daddy I need more blueberries URGENTLY!!!”
