I took this picture in Climax on 3/13/2024!

A while ago I made a 'slop factor' for fun based off the ratios between TD/TS/HU/MH

Finally pushed a full 1.0.0 (not release candidate) to PyPI and conda-forge.

This also means that:
mamba install sharplib
conda install sharplib

Work now (assuming you have conda-forge set as your primary channel).

There is also now a Dask/Xarray/kerchunk example notebook for HRRR data!

Trump seeks to end climate research at premier U.S. climate agency White House aims to end NOAA’s research office; NASA also targeted

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

I’m keeping a running upperair observation status page on my website.

I have additional metadata like reason for degradation, degradation type, when the degradation began, etc. In a coming update you will be able to read those things by clicking on the site.

“Craig McLean, a former NOAA chief scientist who said he got information from a person with first-hand knowledge, told The Associated Press that as many as 1,300 people will be fired in two rounds, 500 Thursday and 800 on Friday. That’s about 10% of NOAA’s workforce.”

Sick! Thanks so much.

Is there a higher resolution version elsewhere? Some tracts are so tiny!

I’d like to offer a subtle improvement

Congrats to the National Weather Center on their big victory over the National Water Center tonight

Meteorological eye-candy. Close-up view of the 955mb low deepening this afternoon off the PacNW coast.

Committed 20 yards of penalties with 1 seconds left to set up a game-winning 52-yard FG. Holy smokes. Another thing I don't think I'd ever seen.

Having OCD sucks a lot*

A confluence band + strongly backed mid levels + high LL SWV have produced this tonight:

that is a 1994-1998 Daihatsu Hijet and its bed has 3,740 square inches of cargo space. The Cybertruck has 3,672 square inches of bed space

With model guidance suggesting the potential for another TC in the Caribbean in 1-2 weeks, I’m wondering if the Atlantic this year may actually reach NOAA’s “extremely active” definition of approximately 160 ACE units. Only 15 units to go. What a weird season.
