I’m sorry, but how can you have a probationary period after a red card is suspended? Are they just making up rules on the fly?

Is anyone actually rooting for Argentina?

This is incredible. The greenest of Verdes

REDEMPTION!!

Explain that red card to me like I am seven

Come work with us! Purdue EAPS is looking for a VAP or visiting instructor to teach several atmospheric science courses starting as soon as Fall 2026. Details: careers.purdue.edu/job/EAPS-Vis...

happy to have this paper published with @draaronhill.bsky.social We looked at extreme rainfall (up to 1000-yr storms) in gridded datasets and the CONUS404 simulation. Continuing the theme from other work, there are many nice things about CONUS404, but it is not a reanalysis of extreme precip. 🧵

Congratulations to Christian McGinty on the successful defense of his Masters work today on forecasting tornado-flash flood events! Couldn’t be more proud to see student success! Christian receives extra recognition as the first CHAOS student to defend their masters/thesis - job well done!

Bump this up to the top of your podcast feed! My postdoc adviser, Dr. Pam Heinselman, talks about the last decade-plus of severe storms research at the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory. youtu.be/ztPhSlIwC9Y

Hi everyone! We recently decided to re-open the AMS WAF/NWP Student Travel Award applications to award the remaining two grants we have left for supporting travel to the 2026 AMS Joint Summit (with increased award amounts). Please share far and wide, and get application materials to us by July 6!

BOOMER BABY!!!

One left…

Make it two!!

And three to go!

Four…

5 outs…

Six outs…

Been wondering why NSF isn't spending most of its FY26 appropriation? A $1.5B tech initiative may be the reason. And big cuts to hundreds of research programs could be just the beginning of the bad news. www.science.org/content/arti...

BOOMER FLIPPIN SOONER!!

About to embark on a climate (S2S or longer) prediction problem using AI/ML? Well, you might want to check out this brand new BAMS paper by my colleagues and I on the recommended steps for how to preprocess your dataset before making those predictions. journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

Just going to drop this here since we haven't talked about NSF strangling geoscience for about a month. It's still strangling geoscience (and everything else) with 9% the number of grants issued compared to the 2021-2024 average. grant-witness.us/funding_curv...

A couple of landspouts last week in far southeastern Oklahoma kept May 2026 from being just our second tornado-free May in the last 75+ years... But this May will still end up as one of our quietest on record in terms of the lack of tornadoes and the lack of overall organized severe weather!

This is very true!

Since I can’t be at @fcst70.bsky.social’s retirement celebration this evening, I wrote a thing instead.

Around NCAR, WRF has become a cautionary tale on attempting to maintain a sprawling community-contributed codebase. It’s a multi-million dollar investment just in people time to keep these codes running.

Downstream users don’t appreciate the significant undertaking it is to maintain these legacy systems on anything close to modern hardware. Many of the people who developed them have retired - there just isn’t the expertise to maintain or further them at this point. (cont.)

The complete reliance on Canvas for everything class related should be seriously reconsidered after this fiasco. Even though I can grade my paper exam next week, I don’t even know my students cumulative grades now without Canvas
