As severe weather season kicks off, the Doppler On Wheels team @dowfacility.bsky.social and Girls Who Chase @girlswhochase.com are getting up close with the most intense tornadoes & hailstorms they can find. Their goal? To help uncover why and how some storms become monsters. https://bit.ly/4dd7xGq

This wedge tornado I photographed by Essex, IA on 4/17/25 was 1.8 mi wide at it's max & rated EF-1 by the NWS. Thankfully there were no injuries. I am in shock I was there to document this historic event! #tornado #Iowa @nws.noaa.gov @girlswhochase.com

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

“The Post spoke with 10 employees across the Weather Service …. Concerned with leaks to the media, the administration is installing monitoring software on NOAA employees’ devices to track their communications, two current employees said.” Reporting by Scott Dance… wapo.st/44sg8lC
