More NOAA budget cuts means research labs would be shutting down including AOML in Miami, which is a key laboratory for hurricane research in order to help improve forecasts.

Kentucky tornado outbreak came with long lead times for tornadoes despite national weather, service staffing shortages, and cuts forced onto themโ€ฆ #kentuckytornado #londontornado #somersettornado #gr... TikTok video by IG @Meteorologist Rob Jones

As much as we might wanna blame Elon and Trump for this, the NWS office seems to have prepared itself despite being 30% short staffed. Anyone hear of any stoppages or issues with EAS, WEA, or IPAWS? #Kentuckytornado #tornadowarning #somersettornado #londonky #somersetky

NOAA merges Climate Prediction Center with another unit, reflecting climate anxiety The move reflects concerns over the Trump administration's sensitivity to CPC's title.

โ€œDuring the merger process, the director of the Weather Prediction Center, which issues short-to-medium range national forecasts, will also be the director of CPCโ€

This as NOAA is preparing to potentially lay off another 1,000 employees thanks to Trump. #noaa #cpc #wpc

Trumpโ€™s โ€˜climateโ€™ purge deleted a new extreme weather risk tool. We recreated it The Guardian has recreated a searchable climate future risk tool developed by Fema but then deleted

FEMA released a great future Climate Risk Tool in December. โ€œWe changed the name of it, removed mentions of emissions scenarios, tried to not get it any attention,โ€ said a source familiar with the FEMA project, who asked not to be named. โ€œBut it was taken down."

Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between January and April by looking at the decadal average line positions.

I stand up for science because when I was in 5th grade I won 1st place at the school science fair for my own independent project about which solution would keep cut roses alive the longest in a vase. It was fascinating; the scientific method at work. I want the same for the next generation. ๐Ÿงชโค๏ธ
