A promising new HIV vaccine was set to start trials. Then came Trump's latest cuts On May 30, a team of researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health got the word: Funding for their vaccine development program will end next year.

Map of local National Weather Service office "areas of responsibility" modified (using polygons with black outlines and red fill) to indicate where recent/expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS have resulting in understaffing so extreme that some offices can not longer operate on a 24/7 basis.

I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx

‘This is a big problem’: Two California weather offices no longer provide 24/7 warnings Collectively, the Central Valley offices issue forecasts and warnings from Redding to Bakersfield, including Lassen, Yosemite, Kings and Sequoia National Parks.

NEW: Two California weather service offices will no longer operate 24/7, curtailing the output of an agency that issues warnings for more than 7 million people in the Central Valley. #CAwx

A spokesperson for NOAA confirmed to @sfchronicle.com that the offices were not operating around-the-clock.

Matt last night: *it’s raining real hard, I’ll put the trash bin out tomorrow morning*

Atmosphere: jokes on you, sucker.

When the HRRR resolves a supercell-supercell merger.

What a High Risk corridor looks like at 23z. Woof.

Searched “David Rose” for an appropriate GIF of my reaction to overnight CAM trends and, I mean… just pick one.

That Day 6 for 15 March. Wow.

The corridor across southern MN is terrifying. The tracks of these two prolific supercells are basically stacked on top of each other. Taylorsville, MS area just got hit hard, and they could take another direct hit in 40 minutes. Really scary situation unfolding.

Probability of 2 or more tornadoes: >95%

Probability of 1 or more EF2–EF5 tornadoes: >95%

This is the third NOAA/SPC PDS tornado watch in history with both of these probabilities maxed out. Prolific and destructive tornado outbreak is imminent.

Incredible coordination from the NWS as a significant (violent?) tornado bounces back and forth between the St. Louis and Paducah CWAs.

The outpouring of posts, messages, and texts the last few hours is bittersweet. It’s evidence of the incredible community that is made up of everyone at NOAA and associated non-federal organizations, and the shockwaves that result when so many are abruptly cut off.

Fuck. I’m so sorry.

Next week it’s the curse of omega and w.

Yeah that 500 mb pattern alone is 🔥

Clemson made it mildly interesting, but yeah. Next round though 🔥 no clue with Oregon OSU and Georgia ND. Should be good.

“Meteorological maestro” has a nice ring to it, and the quote has me rolling. And that’s from 12 posts… I’m impressed. 😂

When’s your flight land? 3:24?

This is why I love college football.
