Wow

People need to understand that the point is not "models are bad". We need multiple model forecasts and experienced meteorologists to help interpret which model prog is most likely. Because of the nature of nonlinear systems, we will never have one single model that always gives the best forecast.

Lutnick’s characterization of NWS as “fully staffed” is a flat-out lie. We need to call it what it is.

Tornadoes tear through Kentucky, Missouri; at least 21 dead Tornadoes were reported in several states on May 16 amid a severe tornado outbreak that turned deadly.

Thank you

This is interesting. But it seems to be lacking some types of mid and upper tropospheric systems, as well as smaller scales.

Stand Up for NOAA Research – The Time to Act is Now The AMS is a global community committed to advancing weather, water, and climate science and service.

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences.

Trump’s draft budget eviscerates weather and climate tracking and research | CNN The move would devastate weather and climate research even as weather is becoming more erratic and extreme, and would cripple the US industries — including agriculture — that depend on free, accurate ...

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the research arm of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, close all weather and climate labs and eviscerate its budget along with several other NOAA offices, according to internal documents obtained by CNN.

Exclusive: US NIH scientists barred from attending conferences on their own time and dime Researchers at the U.S. National Institutes of Health have been told they cannot attend scientific conferences and meetings without official permission, even if they pay their own way and go during time off, three current and former NIH scientists told Reuters.

Some Weather Service Offices Are Delaying or Skipping Storm Surveys At least two Weather Service offices in Kentucky cited the continued threat of bad weather.

At least two offices of the National Weather Service have said they are delaying or skipping sending staff into the field to survey damage from this week’s severe weather, a key step that meteorologists usually use to confirm whether or not a tornado has struck.

Terrible news about a program that has benefitted many students and developed the future workforce needed in NOAA.

Depressing to see the EPP scholarship program get shut down.

A great program that provided opportunity.

This is a terrible downgrade for getting forecasts in mountainous and rural areas that are not shown!

This is terrible. They not only got rid of the topo, but a lot of the other detail is totally missing. Why in the world would anyone do this??

Sounds like fun. This is definitely a need for comparison with lidar studies being done in the West.

Tomorrow night we'll be hosting a Q&A to talk about school & careers in meteo - particularly as it relates to this very weird & challenging moment.

Stopping by are @shawnmilrad.bsky.social, @mattlanza.bsky.social, @lucerowx.bsky.social, & others.

The US faces ‘devastating’ losses for weather forecasts, federal workers say “If these cuts continue, you will feel them personally.”

Canceling NOAA NCEP’s and ROC’s leases suddenly is worse than inadvisable. Many of their buildings were custom built for them, their supercomputers, servers, and specific operations. You can’t just move them into a WeWork.
