There's no public current forecast for Lake George, so we built our own. The lake drains north, but the wind does the work: four days of north wind pushed the surface south, then the wind flipped and so did the lake. 25 Sep-2 Oct 2026. Data: NOAA HRRR, Jefferson Project, Auger (2023), CC BY 4.0
NOAA IOOS/NDBC is one of those things.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoWhen the Trump administration started dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system earlier this year, scientists, fishermen and Congress fought back. On Saturday, a 238-foot ship set sail to reinstall the first batch of monitors in the waters of the Pacific.

Florida has taken more direct hurricane hits than any other US state (NOAA). GTA VI's Leonida is modeled on it, storms included: wind reacts to buildings, and puddles outlast the rain. Rockstar says so itself. Probably the most realistic thing in the game. 🌪
Weather forecasting for North American mid latitudes is worse today than just a couple of years ago. I see it, and, anecdotally, complaints about model guidance from colleagues in my profession are multiplying. Empirically, the American GFS model’s skill is back to 2019 levels 📉
I wonder if there are any other meteorology, research and conservation aligned umbrella groups like the NOAA. Oddly specific, I know.
“The Trump administration is also trying to eliminate NOAA's research office (baseless weather alarms) the primary scientific arm that studies events like El Niño, as part of that budget process. Since his second term, NOAA has lost more than 2,000 staff, largely due to retirements and firings.”
NPR@npr.org · 5d agoA powerful El Niño is already influencing extreme weather around the planet. During the last strong El Niño, federal agencies ramped up research in the hope of improving weather forecasts. This year, they won't be matching that effort. trib.al/dkJLZ2X

I listen to a number of academic podcasts about climate and it's truly depressing how the US has abandoned the rest of the world. These climate organizations are trying to patch up the gaps left by the destruction of science and NOAA in the US. These are NOT political people. These are scientists.
