High Point University Basketball…Keep your heads up as you got one hell of a team. I’m thankful to see the Razorbacks move on to the Sweet 16!

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.

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.

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.

Trump officials gut 25 centers that monitor flooding and drought in the US White House orders closure of USGS water science centers, which shares data with weather service for flood warnings

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.

The loss of climate data isn’t just shortsighted but also dangerous.

Nearly half of National Weather Service offices have 20% vacancy rates, and experts say it's a risk Data obtained by The Associated Press shows that close to half of the local National Weather Service forecast offices have 20% vacancy rates as severe weather chugs across the nation’s heartland.

The fatigue due to covering shifts will cause mistakes that lead to preventable deaths and property damage. Please reach out to your congressional representatives.

US Weather Service Merges Offices as Staffing Pressure Mounts The US National Weather Service will merge two of its largest forecasting units as it prepares for the loss of as many as 1,000 staffers.

Cuts of an additional 1,000 employees is short sighted and wreckless. It will further degrade forecast and warning services that the public depends on each and every day.

More NOAA Employees May Be Let Go, Making 20% of Staff Cut Together with recent firings and resignations, the new cuts could hamper the National Weather Service’s ability to produce lifesaving forecasts, scientists say.

I have 90% of mine in the C fund. A lead forecaster I worked with at my previous office who is pretty savvy in investing. He showed me how the C fund in particular has outperformed every other fund since its inception.

“My weather app does it better!”

-Weather Watches/Warnings? NWS
-Forecast data? NWS
-Observations? NWS
-Satellite? NOAA/NESDIS
-Futurecast modeling data? You guessed it, NWS (via EMC).
-Climatology data? The weather data compiled over a long period by techs.
-Outlooks? NWS
