Fun Fact: AMS recommends that their CBM's take a multitude of neighboring sciences during their time in college because often the meteorologists are the only scientists on call at the station. Geology, in particular, for situations like this.

With natural disasters on the rise due to climate change and uncertainty in funding for our federal weather systems, I’m thankful Minnesota has taken extra steps to prepare for whatever comes our way. www.startribune.com/after-deadly...

After deadly Texas floods, Minnesota officials say they are ‘attuned to how bad things can get’
Emergency managers may consider using sirens to warn of flash floods in the future.

Sometimes it feels weird to bring this point up so much given EVERYTHING going on, but its the only one people I know actually respond to. Maybe its because they dont know about NOAA, or maybe because they realize it affects someone they personally know.

I dont disagree with the premise, I just disagree with the methodology. An anti-climate person might draw soundings from somewhere on a day that happens to show cooling with time as a rebuttal with no actual context around each sounding.

Sam @samsayshello.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
Im not entirely sure how you're reaching this conclusion. It looks more like the sounding was either taken in a storm or not long after. Additionally, taking one day over a couple of spaced out years would draw faulty conclusions about changes in climate trends.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the correction! Ive always gotten them on my phone the same way I get presidential alerts so I assumed it was gov.

NOAA/NWS do issue severe alerts that broadcast to phones. However, users have the option to turn these alerts off (along with amber and silver alerts) and, in my experience, sometimes dont work. As for why no app, budget cuts. Theres no money alotted to the DoC to make a NWS app.

Very sad to hear the news in Minnesota, but I am extremely proud of the people in my hometown. Champlin/Brooklyn Park are extremely strong communities. No amount of killing can stop the Twin Cities from speaking out against tyranny. The North Star State shines on.

Does the size of a horseshoe vortex correlate to the time it lasts? Or is it not necessarily correlated and just coincidental in this case? Awesome picture!

Exactly. Either the president is lying to Congress and the people or lawyers are lying to judges. For once, I think Trump is telling the truth.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’
