I first wrote and cronโ€™d the script that makes these @NWSSPC upper air maps in November 1998. Itโ€™s been running and making the twice-daily UA maps for the past 27 years at this URL: www.spc.noaa.gov/obswx/maps/. Thatโ€™s over 138,000 maps online and itโ€™s still going!

The sun is highlighting the leaves of an orange maple tree in autumn. A red barn stands in the background.

Would be neat to see an animation of this across 100 NH summer seasons.

Foliage color is now peaking across parts of drought-ravaged central Vermont. Picture shows a dry meadow with colorful trees and a small raised bed garden in the foreground.

Drought has contributed to a lot of brown and orange leaves. Iโ€™m gonna call it peak #foliage color in my backyard in central #Vermont! #VTwx

Beautiful #foliage nearing peak in spots on #VTwx I-91 north, and east along US Route 2 into #NHwx today. Some trees were vibrant red & golden yellow in the bright sunshine. Many areas should have (or develop) fantastic color through the end of the month but some rain would also be welcome.

Drought has really influenced foliage this year. Still some colors popping out but many trees are losing leaves fast.

Climate change, federal budget cuts, and the Texas flooding disaster The floods in Texas have killed at least 120 people. The tragedy has raised serious questions about the catastrophic impacts of Trump's budget cuts to NOAA and FEMA.

I talked with NPR in San Francisco today for 25 minutes on the Texas flooding, and the larger issue of how the basic infrastructure to do science in the US is being destroyedโ€”particularly weather science. www.kalw.org/show/your-ca...

Population estimate for exposure to Extreme NWS HeatRisk at some point over the next 7 days. At least 94 million potentially exposed. Impacts likely in most health systems, heat-sensitive industries, and infrastructure. Stay hydrated, avoid direct sun, check on the elderly and pets! #HeatWave2025
