I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx
Map of local National Weather Service office "areas of responsibility" modified (using polygons with black outlines and red fill) to indicate where recent/expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS have resulting in understaffing so extreme that some offices can not longer operate on a 24/7 basis.

NEW: Two California weather service offices will no longer operate 24/7, curtailing the output of an agency that issues warnings for more than 7 million people in the Central Valley. #CAwx A spokesperson for NOAA confirmed to @sfchronicle.com that the offices were not operating around-the-clock.

The corridor across southern MN is terrifying. The tracks of these two prolific supercells are basically stacked on top of each other. Taylorsville, MS area just got hit hard, and they could take another direct hit in 40 minutes. Really scary situation unfolding.

Probability of 2 or more tornadoes: >95% Probability of 1 or more EF2–EF5 tornadoes: >95% This is the third NOAA/SPC PDS tornado watch in history with both of these probabilities maxed out. Prolific and destructive tornado outbreak is imminent. www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wat...

Incredible coordination from the NWS as a significant (violent?) tornado bounces back and forth between the St. Louis and Paducah CWAs.

The outpouring of posts, messages, and texts the last few hours is bittersweet. It’s evidence of the incredible community that is made up of everyone at NOAA and associated non-federal organizations, and the shockwaves that result when so many are abruptly cut off.

Low-level jet kicking in (LLJKI) in central OK along with some mid-level backing, yielding quite large low-level SRH and weak-ish mid-level storm-relative flow.

If anything’s got a shot at posing a discrete threat to the OKC metro around 7p, seems like it’d come from this convergence zone. Updrafts are maturing in 90/58 air with an OFB lurking to their west. Maybe just me but this sub-watch, 1–4-hr forecast time is just so fascinating.
