“We look for details that might explain why these people were subjected to this treatment, details that might reassure us that we, by contrast, are not in danger. […] But that’s not how state terror works.”

"'For extreme weather events, it is especially important to know there are human forecasters interpreting the data and making the best localized forecasts for your area,' Furtado said."

Shoutout to our friends up in @NWSChicago for this graphic on measuring Ice Accretion. Once icing begins, YOU become our eyes and ears on the ground. If you notice ice accumulation on Sunday, send in your observation (with your general location)... https://x.com/NWSAtlanta/status/2014859109447651328

Do you appreciate @nws.noaa.gov's posts on Bluesky? Did you know that this account is a pilot program that may or may not be continued and even expanded to NWS field offices? NWS is soliciting comments here! www.surveymonkey.com/r/PrototypeN... Press release: www.weather.gov/media/notifi...

I hate working ice storms more than I hate hurricanes tbh

Let's talk about Cold Air Damming (CAD), specifically in reference to the southern Appalachians. Let's also talk about some struggles models have with simulating both the strength and the erosion of CAD. You will commonly read/hear CAD referred to as "the Wedge" in the south. Long chain incoming.

Here's the updated Key Messages from this afternoon, now highlighting the potential for locally catastrophic ice accumulations. The snow and ice is going nowhere any time soon in the east. In fact, some guidance shows much of the Northeast may struggle to get above freezing before the end of January

Good morning! Here are the newest Key Messages posted this morning.

It should be noted that some of the highest risk areas for a significant ice storm this weekend have very high social vulnerability -- the Mississippi River Delta below Memphis and southern Appalachia. Some people are likely to be without power for an extended period of time.

Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models surpassed the skills of humans in the 1960’s in the same way that IBM’s Deep Blue beat the world’s chess champion (Garry Kasparov) in 1997. NWP is a great tool in a forecaster’s tool box. This “chat” from NWS Birmingham shows why uncertainties still exist:

What Dennis says. Home generators—often seen as lifesavers in events like this—can be hazards. The 2021 TX cold wave unleashed what one physician called the “biggest epidemic of CO poisoning in recent [U.S.] history." At least 1400 Texans sought medical care. www.texastribune.org/2021/04/29/t...

Here are the latest Key Messages for the impending winter storm and the dangerous cold.

Please do not make decisions based on your weather app. Use your local NWS forecast office!

If you live in Georgia (especially near Atlanta and to the north), upstate SC, and the NC mountains, now is a good time to start preparing in case you are without power. Charge batteries, check generators if you have them, get flashlights working, make sure you have non-perishable food on hand.

With the potential for impactful wintry weather on the rise for the end of the week for many of you, it's wise to ask: Are you prepared for a winter storm? If the forecast calls for winter weather in YOUR area, begin preparing NOW. Don’t wait until the last minute. weather.gov/safety/winter-before

A winter storm will produce great swaths of heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain from the Rockies/Plains and Mid-South starting Friday and shift toward the East Coast through Sunday. The forecast continues to evolve. Latest at weather.gov. Probabilities of at least MODERATE winter weather impacts:

That FIFA Peace Prize in action

Good morning! Here were the latest Key Messages issued eqrly this morning. Increasing area of at least 50% chances for Moderate Impacts (hazardous travel & to some infrastructure) from the Southern Plains to the Mid-Atlantic & Carolinas.

With the upcoming threat of winter weather in the South, I cannot emphasize enough how much you should use EverythingWeather instead of other free weather apps. This pulls the official forecast from your local NWS office!

Some things to keep in mind right now thanks to folks like @wxbrad.bsky.social and @ncweatherauthority.bsky.social

We initiated Key Messages for the impending winter storm late week and the extreme cold. Here they are--

There are increasing chances for snow and ice from the southern Plains to the Mid-Atlantic late this week and into the weekend. There is still plenty of uncertainty in the forecast, which will evolve in the coming days, so stay up to date on the latest at weather.gov.

[Monday, January 19 Analysis] A major cross-country snow and ice storm is increasingly likely this weekend. Confidence is growing in a widespread swath of over 12" of snow & a significant ice storm. I'll cover the big picture & forecast uncertainties in this thread:

Here's my breakdown on the significant winter storm in the works across the southern/eastern U.S. late this week and into this weekend. This could be a memorable snowstorm for some folks, and a disruptive ice storm for others.

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a severe (level 4 of 5) geomagnetic storm watch for Monday night after a coronal mass ejection erupted from the sun Sunday. Similar levels of geomagnetic storming (such as Nov 2025) have produced aurora displays visible from Northern California.

When Julia Fisher’s students learned to read, many schools had moved away from traditional phonics. Instead of sounding out words, the new approach had students rely more on guesswork. She writes about what happens when students start thinking like bots:

“Let me get this straight: You’re worried about China and Russia seizing territory that’s covered by a legally binding mutual defense pact with multiple nuclear powers including your country, and so your plan is to illegally tax your own citizens.”

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could
