If Congress approves the current NOAA budget request, here’s what America stands to lose in weather & climate forecasting. (Spoiler: It’s a lot.)

View of an EF1 tornado I saw near Morton, IL! #ilwx

Saw a powerful tornado near Villa Ridge, MO last Friday with that historic tornado outbreak over the Mississippi River Valley.

I get asked all the time "why is the European weather model better than the American?".

Today's a good start.

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.

1-3” of snow possible across Central Illinois tomorrow. Winter weather advisories are up for many, but more may be placed soon areas further NW

depends on the snow ratios. If the snow ratios are closer to 10:1 than use that. I would use snow depth of pos snow depth over 10:1 and kuchera tho

merry christmas got a new coffee mug!!

A tornado spins in the fields of Nebraska on April 26th, 2024. Blue skies shine behind it, an unusual scene created as the parent storm separates from the updraft and tornado.

April 26th, 2024 brought several strong tornadoes to Nebraska and Iowa. I opted to take a different approach early in the day. This storm, closer to the surface low and enhanced 3cape/vorticity, produced a tornado as the precipitation separated downshear of the remnant updraft.

Job Shadowed at the National Weather Service in Lincoln, IL again today

Awesome sunset in Illinois tonight!!

This solution for Illinois and parts of the US has toned down. Now maybe light snow accumulation for Illinois if anything at all. This is due to a weaker system and also the phasing between vort maxes not aligning #ilwx #WxSky

First measurable snow appears to be possible Mid Next for many in Illinois. Placement, and strength of the system are still uncertain, but ensembles are painting a picture which gives low to medium confidence for accumulating snow. #Wxsky #ILwx

This long-duration, intense atmospheric river is beginning today in Northern California and the Pacific Northwest — there is a high risk of excessive rainfall (the highest possible category) with over 10 inches of rain expected through the next few days:

Illinois win and an awesome
sunset!

framed a photo!

just got accepted into Iowa State!

The Chicago Bears need to fire their entire coaching staff into the stratosphere mid-season so badly and they’re never gonna do it.

holy yessss

we both killed it

Tornado threat rapidly increasing in the vicinity of San Angelo, TX as the LLJ increases this evening. Solid thermodynamics will carve an environment favorable for large hail and tornado production now and Tonight over Central Texas! #WxSky

Current view of #HurricaneRafael at 105 mph/959mb after exiting Cuba and now the ongoing EWRC cycle!

purple bag is so good!

green is easily the worst one imo, but any bag of candy with the same flavor repeated is unfortunate
