Today's severe weather in the northeast is a reminder to think about storm safety while attending outdoor events. When thunder roars, go indoors! ⚡Follow the 30-minute rule: wait at least half an hour after you see lightning or hear thunder before heading back outside.
Storm Safety during outdoor events: Move to a fully-enclosed structure or hard-top vehicle at the first sign of lightning. Wait 30 minutes after the last strike before resuming activities. Watch for falling debris and flying objects during high winds. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces to avoid dangerous slips and falls. When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!

An El Niño Advisory has been issued and you may have recently heard the term "Super El Niño". One of our meteorologists explains the terms NOAA uses to describe ENSO intensity and some basics of what El Niño is and is not. See the advisory: www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/ana...

From March 15 through March 26 there have been... More than 100 monthly records & more than 700 daily records broken or tied. Since March 1 there have been more than 1,100 daily records broken or tied across the nation. Some record heat will remain through the weekend for areas of the Southwest.

Snowpack in Colorado is dismal...
Snowpack in Colorado has already been low this season but an early spring heat wave has just worsened conditions.

How spring plant milestones are shifting in response to changing climate
Across much of the United States, the first leaves and flowers of common garden plants are emerging earlier in the spring than they used to. It's a different story in the Southeast.

🚨 It’s official: 2026 had the lowest annual maximum Arctic sea ice extent on record - essentially tied with last year’s record low. Climate change is reshaping the Arctic, and it's all throughout the year. For more information from @nsidc.bsky.social: nsidc.org/news-analyse...

This is a list of (some) locations that tied or broke their all-time *April* monthly temperature record in March 2026 during the record-shattering heatwave. Statistically and meteorologically, that is extraordinarily hard to achieve locally--let alone across such a vast region.

The heat didn’t just impact CO… it’s been very impactful across a large portion of the US. I often see complaints about mets “hyping Heat” or “never” talking about record lows. Well look at the stats, they are pretty self explanatory. Record highs are FAR outnumbering lows. It’s not hype. #facts

These snowpack stats are insane… truly… We can see Longs Peak and Mount Meeker from our house and it’s been really weird to not see them both topped with snow for more than a couple days at a time this “winter”.

It is going to get hot this week. 🥵 ☀️ Temperatures will soar 20 to 30°F above normal making it feel more like early June than mid-March for many. Dozens of daily high temperatures records are forecast to be broken or tied this week. (1/2)

I'm not sure most folks are aware of the immense magnitude of loss this would entail for the global weather and climate community, and beyond. NCAR has played a greater cumulative role in advancing weather prediction and atmospheric modeling than perhaps any other single entity in the world.

When you ask weather/climate people to name places that act as a hub of lifesaving research and innovation, Boulder CO would rise to top 2-3. NCAR Mesa Lab is the heartbeat of activities there. Can’t believe this is even on the table, let alone being lobbed out there like it’s already a certainty.

Before the 1990s, plane crashes caused by microbursts used to kill planeloads of people fairly regularly. Dr. Ted Fujita and NCAR scientists figured out how to detect microbursts and warn pilots about them. Since then? Zero airliner crashes from microbursts.

Climate denialism, empowered by nihilists and know-nothings, undermining science & destroying the evidence that they previously just rejected. Meanwhile, out here in WA, roads are sliding into rivers (an unprecedented weather event) b/c it’s too damn warm to be raining this hard for this long.
