WPC issued as many as six MPDs for the deadly flash flooding in the TX Hill Country starting yesterday evening and lasting through much of today. The first MPD generally set the stage for what was to come, while the next three shown were as the event unfolded.

Warming stripes for Sacramento, CA. Each vertical bar represents the temperature anomaly in the year labeled along the X axis, with warm temperature anomalies represented by red colors and cool anomalies by blue colors (the darker the shade, the greater the magnitude). A clear warming trend is apparent, with all of the warmest years occurring within the past decade or so.

Each vertical bar represents the temperature anomaly in the year labeled along the X axis, with warm temperature anomalies represented by red colors and cool anomalies by blue colors (the darker the shade, the greater the magnitude). A clear warming trend is apparent, with all of the warmest years occurring within the past decade or so.

Warming stripes for Los Angeles, CA.

It's #ShowYourStripes day--a striking way to visualize amount of #climate warming that has occurred. In this short thread, I present "warming stripes" two ways for 3 major California cities (Sacramento, San Francisco, & Los Angeles), & reflect on context. #CAwx #CAwater #CAfire

NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.

The President's Budget request as released yesterday will gut scientific research. Why should you care?
1) Science is fundamentally a jobs program. Many 100,000s are employed to do science and work for you, the US taxpayer.

Medical Research Funding — Unbreaking How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding.

It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job.

The National Science Foundation budget proposal would be a devastating blow to American science. 240,000 fewer people would be involved in federally-funded science in fiscal year 2026, according to estimates in the document.

Screenshot of the president’s FY 2026 proposed budget clearly stating “The 2026 Budget proposes to eliminate funding for the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants program”

While we are all reeling from the budget and its major cuts to NASA, NIH, USGS, etc. I want to also draw attention to this little nugget about State Wildlife Grants, which is the mechanism for funding State Wildlife Action Plans. Eliminating SWG will destroy state natural resource agencies.

Goodbye REUs, goodbye GRFPs, goodbye CAREERs (which ironically I just finished writing today). This is the end of the road for all early-career scientists. If you aren't enraged you aren't paying attention.

Donald Trump’s proposed budget would gut American science It would slash cancer research, drug trials, space exploration, and so much more.

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health.

But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."

The newest budget numbers out of NSF are... not good. We're looking at worse than worst case scenarios for U.S. research universities. That's in addition to all the other attacks. Every person w/ a word processer and an hour of time should be penning an op-ed to their local papers this weekend.

NOAA firings hit the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting Dismissed researchers were improving severe weather predictions

Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week.

"...the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting"

The people who produce this Mauna Loa atmospheric CO₂ record have a lab in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, about 50 miles (80 km) from the observatory. By closing the lab, it'll be really difficult to maintain the CO₂ observations.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov If Schumer votes for cloture and you do not immediately call for his resignation for betraying the ideals of the Democratic Party, I will not ever vote for either of you again, and will use every avenue in my power to make sure you are not re-elected.

Cannot overstate how much this gutting of expertise is going to impact wildfire response. NOAA’s work to support (fire) weather forecasting; capacity for staffing incident management teams; ability to move firefighters and gear to where it’s needed… absolutely all being decimated.

Breaking: A federal district judge in San Francisco has granted a temporary restraining order stopping the mass firings by the Trump administration of probationary workers at a long list of federal agencies, including the DoD, which has a mass firing planned for Friday.

The part that infuriates me the most is the fact that these RIFs are totally unnecessary. People are having their lives ruined and society is rapidly becoming more vulnerable for no reason. None of this is improving efficiency, it is doing the exact opposite.

These firings will have significant negative impact on all communities that rely on timely and accurate weather information. Farmers, aviators, mariners, military, event planners, people living or working in areas prone to fires/flooding/hurricanes/cold/hot/snow/etc. Basically everyone.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Yes, he was a very good instructor.

Isn’t the contaminated area where they grow all the strawberries? Is there a concern that the fruit would be contaminated?

21 DOGE staffers resign, saying they won't help 'dismantle' public services Twenty-one members of the United State DOGE Service have resigned, they said in an anonymous letter, citing DOGE's ongoing work dramatically reshaping the federal government.

In my private pilot training, my instructor wanted my first reflex during a landing attempt to be to “go around” and not do a full stop landing. So he didn’t teach me “landings” until after I mastered “go arounds”. It’s important for pilots to always be ready to add full power and go around.

At Chicago Midway airport, Feb 25, 2025, 8:48 am. Southwest Airlines jet attempting to land executes last-second go-around to avoid colliding with a private jet crossing the runway. Initial reports indicate that the private jet was told to hold short of the runway but it crossed anyway.

Maybe to avoid being physically attacked.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Same approach as most cults.

Absolutely bonkers move. Dumping water stored for summer on false pretenses related to LA fires. Dumping 70% of Kaweah‘s water to create a Trump water shortage.

The Southern Sierras have 47% of normal snowpack. Current storm may give one inch. This water will be missed.
