A lovely weekend of stratocumulus, seals, and sea lions 🦭

The v6.1 METplus coordinated release is out and full of new features and enhancements 🥳 📈. Oh and did I mention that MET and the METplus wrappers are available via conda now?!

this work saved millions of lives in 2021, won the Nobel Prize in 2023, and is cancelled in 2025

Celebrating Colorado’s 149th birthday! 🎉

Unplugged Colorado weekend 🏔️🫎

But! See that gap between the red and blue lines? While we can quibble over where exactly the blue line should be, closing the gap to the blue line is what NOAA Research (plus that from NSF, NASA, and DOE) is working to do — directly reducing death, injury, and property damage… (1/2)

“I represent 67,000 pediatricians, and let me be clear: this bill will devastate children’s health,” said Dr. Susan Kressly, President of @ameracadpeds.bsky.social “Kids are 22% of our population—but 100% of our future. We cannot afford to fail them.” Call your senators and demand a NO vote.

Always a good day when you find a shooting star 🤩

We're excited to be a part of next week's 🤩S2S Predictability Workshop🤩 Cohosted by NSF NCAR & NOAA WPO’s S2S ncarprojects.ucar.edu/S2S-workshop... Check out Daniel Adriaansen's poster presentation: New Capabilities for Evaluating Land-Atmosphere Coupling using METplus dtcenter.org/community-co...

@nycoloradan.bsky.social dropping some knowledge on the latest and greatest METplus capabilities for WRF, MPAS, and JEDI 🌎📈

A little touch some grass timeline cleanse. P.S. I could get used to conferences in Bozeman.

The man, the myth, the legend. So proud and lucky to get to work with Jeff on the daily. Congrats, Jeff 🥳

This whole thread is 🤯

"Imagine the auto industry without 3D printing. NSF funded that. Artificial intelligence? NSF. MRI machines that help doctors diagnose you? NSF. Doppler radar technology that makes aviation safer by conquering wind shear? NSF. Duolingo‘s underlying programming? NSF. The internet itself? NSF."

Sunday views 🤩

Unidata is responsible for developing, maintaining, and supporting software such as: NetCDF4 MetPy LDM AWIPS2 Public version GEMPAK THREDDS They also support realtime data access via a public EDEX server, THREDDS, and more.

Seems bad.

Days off school (and correspondingly work) are a good reminder to get out and explore. ☀️

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences. Read the AMS statement, in partnership w/ @nwas.org: bit.ly/4cz2RtC

Oh no! Several of the Regional Climate Centers have had their funding lapse through DOC/NOAA. These institutes are critical for connecting weather and climate data and services to local communities across the United States. Spread the word to drive attention and support!

This would kill all weather model development - RRFS, HAFS, and WoFS - in NOAA. These are activities that the private sector can’t support; they leverage these models to train & benchmark their own. I wish the headline didn’t just focus on climate as it limits the audience who will listen.

Can’t wait to see @nycoloradan.bsky.social and Julie’s Explorer Series talk — should be super cool 😝❄️

Saw a nice little sundog this morning in Longmont!

Nice piece by three heavyweights on the academia side of meteorology explaining NOAA’s critical importance.

This is just a sunrise/sunset account now. 🌅

Alright Monday, you’re at least starting out okay.

Can confirm.

Mallory is a model evaluation pro and an absolute class act. The NWP and verification communities are (statistically) significantly better for having Mallory in it.

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Backyard weather station hit 75° yesterday (2/3/25) before the cold front made its abrupt appearance! ☀️🌡️

In the upcoming Pacific Ridge regime, our initial work shows that days with reports of aircraft icing are less likely over much of the area east of the Rocky Mtns. I'm giving a talk (3.3) at 2:15pm CST in 354 discussing our early findings! Thx to @simonleewx.com for the weather regime data! #ams2025

December stunner 🔥🌤️

Just caught the tail end of another November beauty 🤩

🎶 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎶
