Hurricane #Kiko is holding on to Category 1 strength with winds of 85 mph, but its structure is degrading. Kiko is forecast to pass north of the Hawaiian Islands, with swells producing dangerous surf and rip currents along east-facing shores.

Category 4 Major Hurricane #Kiko puts on a show in the central Pacific Ocean 🌀 By midweek Kiko will near Hawaii, but it is expected to weaken before arrival, with rain, wind, and dangerous surf still possible.

🧪🛰️🔥 As we approach the fire season in South America (in fact it is already on), we can appreciate in the satellite images that these week the fires are most concentrated in northern Argentina, East Brazil and along the east side of the Andes and little in the central Amazons (not yet).

20 years ago today: #Katrina was a monster Category 5 hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 150kts (173mph) and a 902mb central pressure. By this point, the aftermath was already very well predicted... [1/4]

Here’s a 48-hour water vapor loop of Ex-Hurricane Erin spinning on its final approach to Europe. Truly mesmerizing.

Ex-Hurricane #Erin undergoes a spectacular transition to an extra-tropical cyclone over the North Atlantic. Its low pressure boosts high pressure across Western Europe, drawing in warm air and bringing a sunny day for many ☀️

Typhoon #Kajiki rapidly intensifies south of Hainan, China 🌀 The typhoon will continue to strengthen before striking Vietnam near Vinh on Monday. Live tracker here: zoom.earth/storms/kajik...

Hurricane #Erin looking stronger after battling wind shear earlier today 🌀

#Erin is no longer a major hurricane and has weakened to category 2. However, Tropical Storm & Storm Surge Warnings are in effect for the NC Outer Banks, where flooding, strong winds, and dangerous surf are expected late Wednesday. Large waves may cause beach erosion and overwash.

A large portion of the Atlantic coastline will see the risk for high surf and rip currents this week due to #Erin. 🟥Risk of Rip Currents is High🟥 Life-threatening rip currents are likely. Swimming conditions are unsafe for all levels of swimmers. Stay out of the water. nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/grap...

🌀 Hurricane #Erin is still expected to turn northward, avoiding landfall. As Erin expands in size however, winds will extend hundreds of miles from its center. Dangerous surf and rip currents will likely affect the Bahamas, the U.S. East Coast, Bermuda, and Atlantic Canada.

Major Hurricane #Erin sustains winds at 125 mph and gradually begins to turn northward. It’s expect to undergo another period of intensification tonight, likely returning to category 4. Tropical storm conditions are expected for the Turks & Caicos Islands and southeast Bahamas.

Hurricane #Erin’s stunning rapid intensification from a tropical storm to a category 4 major hurricane in less than 20 hours 👀

#Erin has now strengthened to a Category 4 Major Hurricane with winds of 130 mph, and it will likely continue to strengthen.

Hurricane #Erin develops an eye and begins to rapidly intensify north of the Leeward Islands.

🔥 Fires continue to rage in Portugal and Spain today, with thick plumes of smoke and pyrocumulonimbus drifting northward.

#Erin becomes the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2025 season 🌀

🔥 Fires in Portugal and Spain have sent huge plumes of smoke over the Bay of Biscay this morning. White is clouds, light brown is smoke:

Tropical Storm #Erin looms closer to the northern Leeward Islands. Erin will likely become a hurricane soon, bringing the risk of heavy rain, flooding, and landslides to the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico this weekend. Live tracker here: zoom.earth/storms/erin-...

Typhoon #Podul ploughs into Taiwan #楊柳

Tropical Storm #Erin has formed near the Cabo Verde Islands 🌀 Likely to become 2025’s first Atlantic hurricane, Erin could track into the Gulf or recurve into the Atlantic. After it moves past the Antilles this weekend, the forecast is uncertain. One to watch.

Hurricane #Henriette hurries harmlessly past Hawaii 🌀

A transatlantic atmospheric river of smoke Massive smoke plume from #wildfires in western Canada is crossing the Atlantic, heading toward the UK, France & Germany. Carried by strong upper winds, it may tint skies & affect air layers over Europe. 🛰 @cira-csu.bsky.social @noaa.gov ✂️Via @zoom.earth

A stunning view from space today as #StormFloris swirls over the UK and Ireland 💨

🌬️ #StormFloris will bring unseasonably strong winds to Northern Ireland, Scotland, and northern England on Monday, with impacts in Scandinavia on Tuesday. Gusts may reach 85 mph (135 km/h) along exposed coasts, with heavy rain sweeping in from the west.

🧪🛰️🌍🌊💨 In Ica, #Peru yesterday a dust storm was triggered by onshore ocean wind. The incoming air mass from the ocean side is very clear.

Major Hurricane #Iona, and right behind it, Tropical Storm #Keli, glide westward across the open waters of the central Pacific Ocean, 600 miles south of Hawaii.

🔥 Today’s satellite view shows smoke rising from multiple wildfires burning in Portugal and Spain. Smoke is often more intense in the late afternoon when high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds cause wildfires to burn more aggressively.

Great to see the NWS posting on Bluesky! 👇

Here’s Invest #93L over the past few days as it nears Florida. The system will cross the Florida Peninsula today, with heavy rain possibly causing flash flooding. Later this week, it could become a tropical depression and bring flooding to parts of the north-central Gulf Coast.

My email is just one person after another emailing to tell colleagues that they are leaving NASA. I’m so sad and angry it’s honestly hard to function.

A comprehensive article of what is at stake with the current budget proposed by the DoC ➡️ NOAA. Nearly every aspect of what we do at NHC has been touched by NOAA Research in one facet or another to our benefit. #AOML, #CIMSS, #CIRA, #CIMAS all play key roles & losing any of them would be horrific.

The Trump administration wants to eviscerate NOAA, CIRA, CIRES and other vital science agencies & institutes. This is a five-alarm fire — for our state, and for scientific research nationally. We must defeat this terrible proposal.

The Trump administration has proposed devastating cuts to NOAA, including the potential closure of multiple cooperative institutes in Colorado. Every American should oppose this reckless proposal — and we are building a coalition of lawmakers to do everything we can to defeat it. 👇🏾 👇🏾 👇🏾

the American government is effectively ending its space program.

According Dr. Robert Atlas, the elimination of NOAA's AOML as proposed in their 2026 budget would result in a 20-40% decrease in hurricane forecast accuracy, costing the economy an estimated $10 billion each hurricane season. Sobering numbers on what's at stake.

Let’s talk about weather balloons—a.k.a. radiosondes—and why recent cuts to NWS staffing and balloon launch schedules are putting the public at risk (eg., Deaths in Texas). No satellite or model can replace what these humble balloons do. Here's why. 🧵

🧪🛰️🔥 Over #Canada this morning about half #Ontario and all of #Manitoba (not small ) provinces have thick and extended layer of #smoke .
