New AMS Statement: Dismantling NSF’s National Center for Atmospheric Research would weaken U.S. leadership in weather, water, and climate science, putting public safety at risk. For more than 60 years, NSF NCAR has improved forecasts and early warnings that save lives. More: https://bit.ly/4q6eChn

Washington, IL EF4 #Tornado – November 17, 2013! A devastating EF4 tore through Washington, destroying more than 600 homes and damaging hundreds more. The path continued across four counties, causing 125 injuries and three deaths. The strongest November tornado on record in Illinois. buff.ly/KcG7bQX

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Temperatures have warmed across the contiguous United States over the last five decades or so during the months of December through February (a rapidly warming season)... Check out @climatecentral.org's winter package for more information and graphics: www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt... ❄️🥵

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

8 months ago I had a vision: what if we had a unified, track-based dataset of all severe events? Still a lot of improvements I can make to the algorithm itself, but otherwise, looks like we have one now. I can't wait to see what we can do with this 👀

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

A little late with the October 2025 rain numbers for NE Foley, AL. Total for the month: 15.37 inches (more like a June total) Highest rainfall rate: 16.00 per hour on the 16th -highest I recall ever recorded in my 3 years here. #nwsmob

Let's check in and see how November temperatures in the Contiguous U.S. have changed over the last 75 years. 🔥

Unidata had issued a public notice regarding the change in bucket name in August 2025: www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/e...

1-minute #GOES19/#GOESEast Visible images showed that soon after making landfall, the eye of Hurricane #Melissa became cloud-filled as the storm interacted with higher terrain on the western edge of Jamaica.

Per NOAA/AOML/HRD’s Sim Aberson, the 219 kt reading will be the fastest wind ever measured by a dropsonde if it passes final quality-control checks.

This meso loop of #Melissa from CIRA is absolutely stunning at it makes its closes in on landfall in southwestern Jamaica. rammb-data.cira.colostate.edu/tc_realtime/... #hurricanemelissa

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

An incredible view from satellite today as Major Hurricane #Melissa rages south of Jamaica 🇯🇲

My Sunday update on explosive intensification of #HurricaneMelissa and why I fear a generational disaster is emerging www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

This evening's update from the U.S. National Hurricane Center on #Melissa is ominous, and explicitly mentions: "catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding...extensive infrastructural damage...and potentially prolonged isolation of communities" in both Jamaica & Haiti.

Folks, this is why slow moving storms near Haiti and the DR can be so very dangerous. The mountains force air to rise rapidly and squeeze out copious moisture. The runoff often inundates villages. If this track verifies, it’s extremely dangerous. #Melissa

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Pope Leo XIV denounced people who deny climate change today, arguing that they are contributing to the destruction of God's creation.

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

“Everyone must take midnight shifts far more often than they used to… Staff must also coordinate their vacations so they don’t overlap. And any sudden illness probably means someone has to work a surprise double shift, because ‘there’s no wiggle room anymore,’ “ wapo.st/3VDCrPO

The @nwas.org and @iaem-org.bsky.social are united in safeguarding communities from weather-driven disasters. Today, we are making a joint statement to reaffirm our commitment—to our mission and to those who depend on us. The full statement is available here: nwas.org/nwa-iaem-joi...

Schwent: The ROI for the NWS is 73:1, supporting 1/3 of the US economy, all for roughly $3 per person per year

Phenomenal presentation. Well done! 👏

Wood: There were 154 high water marks with elevation and flood extent - was a very challenging survey to catalog #NWAS25

Wood: It was a very unique survey - very different from surveying storm surge flooding #NWAS25

Rennie "I hate the word downgrade. People do not care its downgraded when their house is washing away. People are still hurting in the area today." #nwas25

One thing you see at @nwas.org annual meetings, that I don't think you see at a lot of other professional society meetings, and should always be included, are the personal stories from community members impacted by major events. These stories tell us why we do what we do. #NWAS25

Stumpf: EMs need 5 things from a forecast. That is all we really need. #NWAS25

I see passion on the panel. It drives all of us. #NWAS25

Join the discussion.

Both Ryan and James talked about stress with severe weather events. I will talk about it Wednesday afternoon (last session of the meeting). Come and let's talk. #NWAS25

McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."

This is the one Labor Day graph that tells you the actual problem in America. The problem is not that America lacks abundance. The problem is that a handful of oligarchs are hoarding America’s abundance. www.levernews.com/the-labor-da...

Here’s a first-of-its-kind vertical cross-section analysis of the eyewall of Category 5 Hurricane Erin, captured by AgileRadar’s ROARS radar system installed on NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters P-3 aircraft.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

The oceans are warming!! A lot. Must be urban heat island effect 🤪 Nice graphic via @climatecentral.org

🚨🚨 I've independently confirmed with @NOAA that they received a late-breaking notice from @DeptofDefense that SSMIS data will continue to flow for the remainder of the lifespan of the satellites. I will be updating my reporting shortly. Here is the official NOAA statement 👇

Israel is ‘forcibly’ starving Palestinians in Gaza, advocacy group says, as 116 Palestinians killed on Saturday.

Incredible shrinking Cone of Uncertainty! Kartina 2005 vs Helene 2024. Dramatic improvement in hurricane forecasting due to expertise of NOAA scientists at NHC & AOML. Since 2005 forecast error on 5-day track has decreased by ~50%! We often take these accurate forecasts for granted but... 1/

“The Trump administration has ordered 500 metric tons of emergency food aid—enough to feed 1.5 million malnourished children for a week—to be incinerated tomorrow rather than be distributed as part of its ongoing purge of USAID.”
