Reposted by MikeDaniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Additionally, some of NOAA's very high resolution convective-resolving models (designed specifically for this purpose) were the ones that best predicted this incipient disaster. Yet these very same models are on the chopping block this year with the proposed NOAA budget. 131068
Reposted by MikeDaniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Predicting such storms is at the cutting edge of science right now, and the stakes are rising in a warming world in which they are intensifying. Yet this is precisely the kind of research that NOAA/NSF have funded in the U.S. over decades that is at imminent risk of disappearing. 241194
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Due to staffing issues, the Tucson NWS is no longer sending up a 12Z sounding. This sounding is a meteorologist's most important short-term monsoon forecasting tools. This data is also critical for the accurate weather modeling of monsoon thunderstorms. #azwx @timsteller.bsky.social 250
