A thing like this has never happened. Ok girl.
The Texas Hill Country is named flash flood alley because it has the highest concentration of deadly flash floods in the country. A thing like this has happened. List of deadliest Texas floods from KSAT.

The National Climate Assessment, and all special reports and past assessments, are now offline. Federal climate science is being systematically erased.

10/ Bottom line: Congress isn’t just approving a budget. It’s voting to dismantle America’s weather + climate early warning systems. And we’ll all pay the price when the next fire, flood, or storm comes. Call your representative TODAY!

Friday and Saturday severe thunderstorm outbreaks expected. Widespread significant/damaging winds and a few strong tornadoes possible Friday from Mid-MS Valley to Lower OH/TN Valleys. The significant tornado risk across the Deep South on Saturday looks particularly concerning.

More NOAA Employees May Be Let Go, Making 20% of Staff Cut
Together with recent firings and resignations, the new cuts could hamper the National Weather Service’s ability to produce lifesaving forecasts, scientists say.

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13. I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.

The NWS getting cut and likely not allowing any more positions for the next few years is just demoralizing for us future mets. I've wanted to be a meteorologist for over a decade and the fact that I won't be able to get a job after I get my degree is heartbreaking.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Today’s firings from NOAA/NWS are unconscionable & make us all less safe. It is wild to see certain weather bros for the first time realize politics affects them. I hope this inspires them to be more proactively engaged in politics instead of loudly and proudly declaring themselves above politics.

Tomorrow has a pretty intriguing severe setup; a very strong low level atop an unstable (~1k J/kg CAPE) airmass. It is currently unclear on the extent of the warm sector and the geometry of the system, but a change in these factors could greatly impact the severe risk.
