Everyone is worse off with a reduced NOAA workforce. EVERYONE.

We literally make daily decisions due to expected weather conditions like grabbing an umbrella or securing furniture ahead of strong winds.

And anyone can access that information because it's already covered by taxpayer dollars.

Thanks so much for your interest! FYI the app is NOT available yet. I hope to start an open Testflight beta next week and will post the invite here.

Last week marked the end of the incredibly active and impactful 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.

The season produced 18 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes.

We've created a list with our fellow state mesonets

Those field pics are 12/10

And the ticker

And Today in Mesonet Hx

I could go on lol

We're excited to expand our social media presence to Bluesky! If you have requests for content...let us know! #okwx #okmesonet

To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia #starterpacks, how about we also share introductions to the literature of our different fields. I present here a handy guide to main types of papers in meteorology (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com). 🧪

Did something just hit the Talala Mesonet site? #okwx #wxsky

Oof.

Precipitation for the first 23 days of October. Seems dry.

Fact check: Debunking weather modification claims No one creates or steers hurricanes; the technology does not exist

The only weather modification we are doing is adding greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. www.noaa.gov/news/fact-ch...

Handoff note to the afternoon weekend team recapping the morning with #Oscar: 🤯 #wxsky

Oh, ok

"I remember way back in the old days at 4:53 a.m. PT today when Invest 94L only had a 30% chance of development in the next two days."

Tbh that's what has held me back too. I think I might get a radio and listen in to see how it actually works irl? Idk

For all the #Wx folks migrating, #NWSBots are here: bsky.app/starter-pack...
