@altcdc.altgov.info As you might know, according to Politico, the government is preparing for further RIFs on Friday. Do you think the HHS and therefore the CDC will be affected, or are we too unsure at this point in time?

Today, all these news organizations have left the Pentagon press area, taking chairs, supplies, and information with them. This is due to the Pentagon's new rules which breaks press freedom by making press only report approved stories if they sign.

The Big Five have signed a letter in condemnation.

On Friday, the CDC saw mass layoffs upwards of 1,100 employees. While hundreds were fired in error, many are still fired. The Washington Office, the main communicator to Congress, was gutted. According to @altcdc.altgov.info, 1/3rds of the National Center for Health Statistics was gutted too.

Gonna gather my info and give an update to the CDC layoffs here

Completely agree

Trump Administration Will Rehire Scores of Experts Fired in Error

NYT too

Yeah some people were fired in error, including the MMWR editorial staff and the Ebola reponse team

Hey, @altcdc.altgov.info, do we know what offices got gutted so far, or are they still counting?

Watching the CDC RIF news on here. I'll provide updates here, then on my Substack tomrrow (I should probs link that)

I can't post on Twitter it seems. Great job guys

I may be making a summary and a full-length timeline of NOAA cuts tomorrow. I will explore what led up to it, the attacks on meteorology from the start of the Current Admin., initial cuts, who was affected, what was lost, and what happened thereafter.

This is gonna be a long one trust me.

I need to find a thing where whatever I post on Twitter also goes on here. I'm gonna try to figure that out today, I promise yall more content coming.

I'm also coming on here to help save NOAA, spread awareness, and meet other creators to create a good plan.

Yoshi in!

Looks like the storms are ramping up

A thin line of rain heading through our area right now. Anyone in the Tampa Bay Area is expected to see this line of rain. Rain will only happen for at most 20 minutes though

Twitter is down lmao

Woah that's a surprise

GOES-16 satellite on channel 13 "Clean IR" over Florida. Three radars, KTBW Tampa Bay, KEVX De Funiak Springs, and KBYX Key West.

Hello Florida! Three radars and satellite is set up for a general overview. Northern Floridians, especially those in the red area, should be ready for rain in the next few hours. Tomorrow, the cold front will traverse all through Florida, although low-precip South of Gainesville.

Everywhere in the U.S. has great moisture... except Florida.

What news stories did you feed it? I did a similar thing a while ago and it didn't produce this type of worrying. Sure it was worried but not to this level

"What a shame it's not going faster"

But seriously this is true but the thing is the Ruble already started at a bad place and this does not help it.

Screenshot unrelated

@weatherprof.bsky.social How likely do you think Tampa Bay will get a freeze this year? (A day or more of low temperatures below freezing)

Setting up for a colder December I see

Looks like I can look at computer models on the go now.

Just got data and a number.

The EURO shows exactly that while the GFS has a very powerful Alaskan high and a powerful high near Iceland. Back to the ensembles for a moment they also show such a scenario, likely to get clearer as we get closer. A Florida forecast will be released tonight or tomorrow. Have a good day yall!

The PNA will also rise right after. A +PNA usually allows cold air to seep into the East Coast. Going into clownery range (we were there already) again, we do see a good pattern for EC cold lovers. Alaska and North Atlantic/Greenland high usually forces cold air to rush into the U.S.

The AO! Basically part of what determines arctic blasts and it looks to support some extra troughs after our big one. After the big trough it's gonna get near neutral, then very slowly drop, bringing us a good start to December. Same is happening to the AMO.

The GFS and EURO show yet another trough somewhen right before December. The general pattern does support this, more of the teleconnections next post but this specific trough is very uncertain, however, personally, I think it's not a false signal.

The ensembles dont support it at all either. The trough builds on all. Here's an example from the EPS. However this is where we end with the ensembles, mainly because in late ranges like these, they really tone down the troughs' and ridges' power.

Well a ridge will build up again, however not a very strong one. Dry, cool air should remain in most places until a second trough comes. This second trough's existence is a bit more uncertain. The GFS has it well defined, while the EURO and CMC have it less powerful, and the AIFS does not have it.
