Shelf-sanity yesterday (6/9/26) in southern ND near Bismarck. Obviously realized failure mode for tornadoes, but an otherwise fun chase.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

was not expecting to wake up and see reports of an early-morning swath of large hail along the Front Range (apologies to those who woke up to damage.) Big hail in the early am is *exceedingly* rare. Prior to today, only 7 reports in state records of 2"+ hail between the hours of 2-5am. #cowx

Hourly distribution of large hail reports in Colorado, showing a big spike in the afternoon and evening, and almost none in the early morning hours.

There's been lots of chatter, much of it uninformed, regarding the tornado warnings issued by NWS Jackson, KY Friday. The 2 sig tornadoes had lead times of 28 and 40 minutes respectively, pretty damn good for being short staffed, to their credit. Radar at issuance time. 1/2

This statement from the NSF is insane. Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false. Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

All NWS services: data, forecasts, radar, satellite, IT infrastructure, costs each American taxpayer $4/yr. Less than a latte. And each person gets back 73 x $4 = $292 a year in value for that service. I think that’s a pretty good deal.
