#TD2 remains broad and weak for now, with dry air entrainment evident west of the circulation, clearly limiting the intensity and coverage of deep thunderstorms near the center of circulation.

🌀 Sunday video update on newly-formed Tropical Depression Two (#TD2), expected to impact the Gulf Coast this week. 🌀 There is some uncertainty in the forecast and exact impacts expected in Gulf states. Stay tuned to the NHC forecast this week for any changes and be prepared. youtu.be/65p0gFiVpTk

🌀 There remains some risk of tropical development in the western Gulf this week. The disturbance that initially failed to develop and moved into #Mexico is currently inland, but will slowly migrate into south #Texas over the next couple of days as a weak cold front approaches from the north.

Following up, we are seeing model consolidation toward less storm activity in the Gulf this week, w/ physics-based models backing off from earlier aggression. Remaining low risk is associated w/ the remnants of TS Cristina potentially crossing Central America into the Bay of Campeche this weekend

🧵(1/5) Some possibility of tropical activity in the Gulf exists beginning late next week. The Central American monsoon is becoming active as multiple equatorial waves (MJO, Kelvin, Rossby) overlap next week near 90W longitude.

Tropical Depression Two-E has formed just south of Guerrero, #Mexico. The storm is expected to quickly move inland on Monday, bringing heavy rains, flash flooding, and mudslide hazards to the region.

The Eastern Pacific is waking up, with two tropical cyclones expected to develop near the coastlines of #Mexico and #CentralAmerica over the next couple days, bringing primarily heavy rainfall and flash flooding hazards to the region.

Tropical Storm #Andrea has formed over the North Atlantic, the first of the Atlantic season. Andrea is already moving into cold waters and will be short-lived, expected to dissipate over the next 24 hours. Andrea is not a threat to any populated areas.

The Eastern Pacific is getting going with their first Tropical Storm of the season, named #Alvin 🐿️ The NHC predicts a track northward towards northern Mexico, but fortunately, Alvin will hit some cold water on its way there, likely causing it to mostly dissipate prior to arrival.

🌀 The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season approaches 🌀 This video provides a brief overview of current expectations for how active the season will be 🌀 The best thing you can do is be prepared. Know your local vulnerability and have a plan. Everyone stay safe this season! youtu.be/ZoJXfZVleak?...

A great wrong has been done here. Unidata's technologies, training materials, and standards, down to the NetCDF data format itself, are the backbone of the meteorological field.

NSF Unidata@unidata.bsky.social · last yr.

Due to the current gap in funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program is pausing most operations effective 12 May 2025. Nearly all staff will be furloughed until funds from our existing NSF grant become available. For more information, see buff.ly/d2TC1Oy

Probationary employees across @NOAA and the @NWS are being terminated today, including those in mission-essential roles. My own wife is among them, essential to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center's 24/7 critical mission of seismic monitoring and tsunami prediction to protect the public.
