From 1980-2002 THREE storms acheived extreme rapid intensification. From 2003-2025 EIGHTEEN storms achieved extreme rapid intensification. 6X increase! It’s not coincidence, it’s climate change! (source of data Dr Kieran Bhatia x.com/bhatiakieran...)

NOAA’s hurricane research division staff has been cut from 52 in 2020 to 28 in 2025, almost a 50% cut. They’ve resorted to using volunteers to man the critical radar and dropsonde stations on Hurricane Hunter flights. Senseless cuts in an era of climate change making the strongest storms stronger.

@peterbukowski.bsky.social Are we sure Jeff Harley is the second coming?

How can anyone be against a challenge system?

The Packers go home with a tie and a 2-1-1 record. Rich Bisaccia's special teams were the difference in the outcome tonight, and that will be the discussion over the next week.

@bfawkes22.bsky.social Hey Ben! What do we know about who the sharps are backing today?

What an insane catch.

@enosarris.bsky.social One more updated SP ranking before end of season?

Lake Mendota, WI F3 #Tornado – August 2, 1967 An F3 tornado hit Dane County, WI on Aug 2, 1967, killing 2 women and damaging cottages near Lake Mendota. It narrowly missed a boys' camp with no injuries reported. www.tornadotalk.com/lake-mendota... #wiwx

1977-78 Milwaukee #Bucks

The first two batters of the game reach on walks and Contreras taps into an easy 5-3 double play. It is probably time to move him down in the order.

If William Contreras is going to catch every day and bat third, he's gotta put together a better attempt to block a two-strike changeup than backhanding it.

ICYMI Really need this one to get around. Discusses cloud seeding, geoengineering and more. Your Wikipedia reading, You Tube Watching relative needs this in their life :) Sunday reading at: www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by the Department of Defense and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from three weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond. More ⬇️

Disaster waiting to happen.

Today was the last day at NOAA for hundreds of employees who took an early retirement offer. Collectively, an estimated 27,000 years of experience left the agency. It goes without saying they will be missed. Their decades of service is commendable & appreciated. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Si-R...

1000 or so+ (at least) National Weather Service/NOAA employees took early retirement today alone with more likely. NWS offices in many cases were already understaffed and services are being cut. Mark this day. So many implications.... 27000 collective years of experience...Gone

Remember: NOAA is not its social media accounts. Do not let the takeover of NOAA communications take away your support of the real NOAA and the very real scientists behind it. The administration would want nothing more than for us to stop supporting our science agencies 🧪

Here’s tonight’s @nbcnews.com report about the National Weather Service reducing or eliminating some weather balloon launches and the agency’s response to reports about staffing and operational cuts.

April 3-4th, 1974: A “Super-Outbreak” of tornadoes ravaged the Midwest and the eastern U.S. Severe thunderstorms spawned 148 tornadoes from Alabama to Michigan, most occurring between 1 PM (CST) on the 3rd and 1 AM on the 4th. The tornadoes killed 315 people and injured 5300 others.

@kristinbrey.bsky.social Spectacular! www.jsonline.com/videos/opini...

Some of the larger cities under the highest threat are Memphis, Clarksville and Bartlett, TN; Little Rock, Pine Bluff & Jonesboro AR; Southhaven MS; Evansville & Indianapolis, IN; Louisville, KY

A tornado outbreak is underway from parts of the lower Mississippi Valley into the Mid-South and lower Ohio Valley. Numerous tornadoes are likely. In addition, significant severe wind gusts and very large hail is likely across a broad area from north Texas northeastward to the southern Great Lakes.

Some of the larger population center unde the highest threat are Memphis, Clarksville and Bartlett, TN; Little Rock, Pine Bluff & Jonesboro AR; Southhaven MS; Evansville & Bloomington, IN; Louisville, KY

So awesome

This is not good

Strongly recommend...

From NWS SPC: ⚠️❗️A Particularly Dangerous Situation Tornado Watch is now in effect for much of Mississippi and northern Louisiana until 6 pm CDT! Numerous tornadoes, as well as strong/long-track tornadoes are likely, along with very large hail and damaging winds greater than 70 mph.

More proof that my colleagues at NWS SPC are the best in the business. Their service is no less than vital.

Another example of the outstanding work of the folks at the NWS Storm Prediction Center! The initial risk area was denoted on the Day 6 Severe Weather Outlook with continued messaging of a significant severe weather threat up to the event day *Note: Reports are preliminary (likely more to come)

Folks need to be on extraordinarily high alert across far SE LA and most of MS from midday thru Sat PM. This is as bad as it gets.l tornado-watch-wise.

Probability of 2 or more tornadoes: >95% Probability of 1 or more EF2–EF5 tornadoes: >95% This is the third NOAA/SPC PDS tornado watch in history with both of these probabilities maxed out. Prolific and destructive tornado outbreak is imminent. www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wat...

🧪🛰️🌬️ This morning the Great Lakes region wakes up with a thick dust cloud above, generated yesterday in a big dust storm in the SW (see my previous posts) @tomgillpredicts.bsky.social @aerosolwatch.bsky.social

EPA warning: do not go outside in the Central U.S. dust storm! Hazardous dust covers parts of OK, MO, IL, TX, IA, AR. On Fri, St. Louis AQI peaked at 3,372 from PM10 (dust); on Sat morning it was 556. AQI over 300 is “Hazardous”, over 500 is off-scale. Consult airnow.gov.

The National Weather Service's mission "to protect people and property from severe weather and to enhance the national economy. The NWS does this by providing weather, water, and climate data, forecasts, and warnings" has been severely hurt apnews.com/article/nati...
