Another blow to meteorological R&D this morning, as it was confirmed that NSF is terminating funding for its main weather and earth science focused AI research institute led by the Univ. of Oklahoma. Also - a LOT of weather to talk about, especially in the West. More: tinyurl.com/mr2znbdb

Important weather science news tonight: NOAA has canceled procurement of the next phased array weather radar R&D instrument. Along with the obvious blow to PAR weather research, it is consistent with other moves by admin to push forward quickly with NOAA cuts. More: tinyurl.com/my8hx8j6

Finally pushed a full 1.0.0 (not release candidate) to PyPI and conda-forge. This also means that: mamba install sharplib conda install sharplib Work now (assuming you have conda-forge set as your primary channel). There is also now a Dask/Xarray/kerchunk example notebook for HRRR data!

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

I’m keeping a running upperair observation status page on my website. I have additional metadata like reason for degradation, degradation type, when the degradation began, etc. In a coming update you will be able to read those things by clicking on the site. www.stormscale.io/spc/upperair...

“Craig McLean, a former NOAA chief scientist who said he got information from a person with first-hand knowledge, told The Associated Press that as many as 1,300 people will be fired in two rounds, 500 Thursday and 800 on Friday. That’s about 10% of NOAA’s workforce.”

Committed 20 yards of penalties with 1 seconds left to set up a game-winning 52-yard FG. Holy smokes. Another thing I don't think I'd ever seen.

With model guidance suggesting the potential for another TC in the Caribbean in 1-2 weeks, I’m wondering if the Atlantic this year may actually reach NOAA’s “extremely active” definition of approximately 160 ACE units. Only 15 units to go. What a weird season.

🎉PUBLISHED and open access: check out my latest paper on cell mergers and storm interactions here: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal... Can the positions of nearby cells/mergers help us discriminate between tornadic, non-tornadic, and hail-producing supercells? We find evidence for "yes".

Two periods of record-breaking tropical cyclone activity, each one marked by historic category 5 hurricanes. In between, a record-breaking dearth of tropical activity. The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season sure threw us a curveball.
