This week’s Colorado heat wave is absurd. Historic. Unprecedented.

I don’t use those words lightly.

Mid-summer heat coming to Colorado in mid-March. All-time monthly records across the state will be broken, likely by several degrees. Thursday-Saturday.

A public information statement from the National Weather Service announces the temporary suspension of radiosonde observations (weather balloon launches) in Albany, New York, and Gray, Maine, due to staffing shortages. The document outlines details about the suspension and provides contact information.

Radiosondes on weather balloons are essential for collecting data from the upper atmosphere for accurate forecasting. Due to the mass firing at NOAA, the NWS doesn’t have enough people to launch balloons. 🎈

Accurate weather forecasts save lives.

You're not going to find a magic money-printing machine that will give you these types of reliable returns year-after-year. NOAA and NWS don't just keep us safe - they create immense value for the American taxpayer.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
