My thoughts are with the folks in Texas that experienced flooding again along the Guadalupe River in Texas. This is nearly a repeat and in some aspects worse than the flooding experienced last summer in the area. #txwx

14% of all U.S. government STEM Ph.D.s have left the workforce since Dec. 2024, a huge brain drain. New hires replaced only about 9% of the departures (at 14 of the agencies studied).

Sizeable nose of warm air aloft from the 18z LZK sounding from roughly 890mb to 720mb will favor sleet over central AR and parts of southern AR. Per the 12Z SGF sounding, ptypes over parts N, NW, and NE AR will remain snow. weather.rap.ucar.edu/upper/displa... weather.rap.ucar.edu/upper/displa...

Absolute shortsighted move as NCAR does far more than climate research. The research and projects provides advancements in atmospheric sciences/meteorology that saves countless lives as well as billions in economic loss year after year. Another idiotic move by the current administration.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Major Hurricane Melissa has reached 892 mb, which is the third lowest mean sea level pressure in Atlantic basin history matching the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, which impacted the Florida Keys. With maximum subtained winds of 185 mph, the island of Jamaica likely will see generational damage.
125 years ago today: the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900... 4th deadliest natural disaster in US history. A major hurricane landfall in TX that was well-forecast by the Cubans, and ignored by the US Weather Bureau. Not a shining moment in international relations, and with terrible consequences.

A staggering 40% of the country’s weather forecast offices have significant staffing vacancies. Some offices can no longer operate overnight – imperiling their ability to warn people of imminent extreme weather. Make no mistake: DOGE's cuts put American lives at risk.
The pure stupidity of cutting these centers will likely carry devastating and potentially deadly consequences. These centers help in repair and maintenance of river and tide gauges which are essential to river and coastal flooding forecasting. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well this would be a big problem for someone like me. I have come to rely on the MRCC's cliMATE tool for historical weather queries on the regular. Losing this would be devastating.
