Wow this news alert not pulling punches. Great to see.

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

I cannot believe the 9th I just watched

Hundreds of farmers affected. Are the legislators who represent them ok with this?

One key point here: the kind of research I describe in Cloud Warriors has been successful BUT it’s now being undermined, at the cost of future forecasting improvements. Thanks @lauracmorel.bsky.social @motherjones.com for putting a focus on this.

If you were a user or admirer of NOAA’s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us. Follow @climate.us for launch updates.

What will happen to US weather forecasting in coming months given NOAA/NWS cuts? I joined Alan Gerard (@wxmanms1.bsky.social) for a conversation. If you aren’t following Alan’s newsletter balancedweather.substack.com you’re missing out on great news and perspective.

Star Trek as policy … Ok you’ve got my attention!

The problem isn’t that there is no way to alert residents. It’s that officials too often don’t use it. New from @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/ipaw...

Yes I am watching live a flashlight unveiling event, you have something to say about that? www.youtube.com/live/i0Q8Kbn...

Had a great talk with the Weather Channel’s @jencarfagnoweather.bsky.social on the Weather Geeks podcast. We cover extreme weather, forecasting’s future, and my book, Cloud Warriors—and more. Grab the episode here or wherever you get your podcasts!

Important weather science news tonight: NOAA has canceled procurement of the next phased array weather radar R&D instrument. Along with the obvious blow to PAR weather research, it is consistent with other moves by admin to push forward quickly with NOAA cuts. More: https://tinyurl.com/my8hx8j6

@tweber.bsky.social Picked up a copy of Cloud Warriors at B&N. Looking forward to reading it. Thanks for kind words about RadarScope. The team got a kick out of seeing those.

Dictatorship comes at you fast?

Just saw the broadcast version of this excellent story on @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social and one thing that’s striking is to see extended video of people being grabbed and a family being separated at 26 Fed. Too often we see very short glimpses. Very powerful to see longer video.

Honestly would take the ESPN Kidscast team over some of the regular (non-SNY) booth lineups

Unbelievable footage from NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters inside the eye of Hurricane Erin. Simply incredible.

Erin's central pressure was in the 990s this time yesterday, and it's now in the 920's heading for the teens. This will make Erin the fastest deepening Atlantic hurricane before Sept 1st. Beating Emily 2005, by a lot.

Agree that this is worth watching, all the way through.

what could possibly go wrong?

Seems ready to turn over air traffic control to!

A really innovative move toward making sure good weather forecasts translate to the best actions by officials. More innovation from @nyswrcc.bsky.social which I wrote about in www.cloudwarriorsbook.com Congrats @nickpbassill.bsky.social and colleagues. Hope other states are watching.

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

“Let me put it this way: People make mistakes all the time driving the car. Now imagine that you blur the windshield,” he said. “There are going to be a lot more automobile accidents on the road with devastating consequences, and I think that’s the situation here.”

If you live along or near the coast, now is the time to start paying attention to daily tropical weather outlooks. www.damweather.com/2025/08/trop...

Some good news from the weather world. Hat’s off to @wxmanms1.bsky.social for getting the inside dish on this.

This is the guy who knows what the real BLS numbers are.

From one of the best minds on this subject. Take what he says seriously.

“The National Association for Business Economics (NABE) strongly condemns the removal of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Commissioner Erika McEntarfer and the unfounded accusations leveled against the work of the agency… A totally apolitical group. files.constantcontact.com/668faa28001/...

Coming soon to critical economic stats?

um. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

A real test for journalism coming up here. Not easy to explain to mainstream audience why even the SPECTER the books might start getting cooked at Trump’s direction will give economists shivers. This. Fed independence. We’re starting to mess with the operating system of the economy.

Disturbing. @jonostrower.com is a must-follow on this. (And @jfallows.bsky.social is my other go-to for cogent explanations of aviation safety issues)

Great point from @michaelrlowry.bsky.social here: getting people to pay attention matters. It paid off here.

#Breaking: Just got off the phone with a NOAA spokesperson. DOD has stated that SSMIS microwave scans will be made available to NOAA through the end of the satellites’ lifespan and until the replacement instrument’s data comes online.

Absolutely amazing work by the Phanatic. Mr. Met, over to you.
