They didn’t kick me out… yet

This is a great opportunity to promote tthe @watchduty.org app, which helps view local wildfires (prescribed or not) app.watchduty.org

TODAY IS THE DAY! Today I anger every member of the weather, water, and climate enterprise by telling them to jump on the AI train or get left behind. Get your tomatoes and "boos' ready!

Make sure @coweatherman.bsky.social has some too

Just like the AI slop I’ve seen NWS produce, it needs to be vetted before put in operation. One could argue why even so it in the first place, but if it saves time, I’m all all for it

100% To quote anchorman… “60% of the time, it works every time” I NEVER trust the output, but it at least points me in the right direction. Plus I learn new things like web apps and swift

100%. Don’t trust these things without checking yourself

Folks, embrace AI Within a few minutes, I asked AWS Kiro to get the BRAND NEW HRRR Cast from the NODD and build code to plot the data Then I told it to build a web app. My head is spinning with new ideas, and yes I WILL be bringing this up in my SAWC talk tomorrow

Uh Oh #WorstSeason

I am so pumped for this movie, which includes some of my favorite synoptic meteorology maps of all time.

I was going to let this one pass, but they are using #Helene as the example here so off I go. This graphic still makes it look like the greatest threat is on the coast of the big bend of Florida. Is this going to convince folks in Western NC to be prepared for floods? No.

Can someone please tell me if this is CIG2 or CIG3? K thx

There are going to be growing pains and valid concerns, but yes I personally think the pros outweigh the cons

I, for one, welcome our cloud overlords

That was so 6 hours ago

Remember to use your critical thinking skills and check to see what they aren’t telling you. Checkmate Brett

Number of days that have set or tied a March monthly temperature record through yesterday (Mar 21) at major climate stations.

Spending some time building notebooks to output NOAA/NCEI data into KMZ Format. Something folks in the broadcast / digital space are looking for. Here's an updated White Christmas notebook #snOMG github.com/jjrennie/Whi...

It’s Friday night. This one’s a struggle but we’re doing it. I’ve done enough this week. You’ve done enough this week.

Giving this talk in a week at the Southern Appalachian Wx conference next week. Gonna anger a lot of folks. But I just saw something internal at NCEI and my jaw dropped. This is the future so get on board folks.

THREE JOB OPENINGS! This one is also space weather related @wickydubswx.bsky.social @snhwx.bsky.social usajobs.gov/job/861144500

Over the past week I have introduced my kid to some of the best entertainment of the 21st century - The Martian (2015) - Interstellar (2014) - The Hot Pocket bit by @jimgaffigan.bsky.social

GOOD

I have a joke about climatology but it takes 30 years to understand it

The best part about my job is I get to tell you TOMORROW what happened TODAY. It’s really unfair if you think about it

We're hiring? *checks notes* WE'RE HIRING! Check out these opportunies to work at NCEI. I'm a "USA Jobs Survivor" so happy to impart wisdom (and rants) if you want them www.usajobs.gov/job/861144500 AND www.usajobs.gov/job/861144700

The video asks us to tag your friends and enemies. Enemies? Ok fine @akrherz.bsky.social @climatologist49.bsky.social @copernicuseu.bsky.social @oregonstate.edu

This goes as a warning to Huntsville, AL. Never change your logo. It’s the best logo in ALL THE SPORTS and it’s not even close

Cat 2 according to NESIS, Cat 3 according to RSI

Thanks, now I won’t sleep tonight

GOOD

It’s still #WorstSeason but I’ll take this dewpoint whoosh any day @wxfront.bsky.social

The official NOAA stats out this week confirm that winter 2025-26 was the warmest on record across a huge portion of the western and central U.S., which has contributed to extremely low mountain snowpack & worsened the CO River crisis. Meanwhile, record March heat is in forecast.

Working on a presentation that I'm sure is going to anger everyone. Buckle up, 2026 is going to be a wild ride weeeee!

This meme is funny and sad at the same time.

We don’t deserve Kevin “IM CALLING BOTH GAMES” Harlan

Do what brings you joy. Happy International Women’s Day. 🌪️💜

Even though I’m not in the market, I suggest people download and watch their coverage (and also other online coverage like Ryan Hall and Max Velocity). Though forecasting is not my full time job, I use them as a learning tool for public science communication.

🚨New Python Notebook Using NOAA NCEI Data!🚨 This one is the gridded normals we produce every 10 years. Here you can play with monthly and daily data, learn how to do GIS style clipping, and understand the difference between weather and climate! github.com/jjrennie/nce...

THE DATA IS IN A GOOGLE BUCKET AND THERE'S A PYTHON NOTEBOOK! I AM LITERALLY JUMPING FOR JOY!

Hahahaha @xkcd.com @wickydubswx.bsky.social @snhwx.bsky.social xkcd.com/3215/

How I arrived on Bluesky

👀 new storm events database site at @noaa.gov , and it's not terrible! Go check out the beta site and break it! www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/storm...

Just in: NOAA satellites helped rescue 300 people in 2025 See how: noaa.gov/news-release... NOAA.gov via NOAA Satellites #SARSAT

Today is the first day of climatological MASTER! (MASTER!)

Made a small update to my #snOMG notebook to include a different color ramp AND the ability to produce KML's which a lot of y'all are requesting! github.com/jjrennie/snOMG Any guess as to what this event is (not the most recent one)?
