Some new features and products in Heimdall tonight. Primarily, requested additions of dual pol products (CC and ZDR), and crosshairs for data inspection. Holding left-alt will put the readout crosshairs on the mouse.

One of NOAA's true gems - which could be at risk under POTUS' FY27 budget - are its testbeds which test & evaluate NOAA research for how it can improve its operations. I wrote today about my experience participating in a NOAA winter weather forecasting testbed experiment. tinyurl.com/35pua9cc

Hey! Florida didn't really lose the title of "Lightning Capital of the United States". That headline comes from a lightning network that has previously said Maryland and New Jersey were more lightning prone than Florida. NLDN says Florida is the lightning capital since at least 2019.

No, Florida didn't lose the crown of lightning capital of the united states.

States Fear Critical Funding From FEMA May Be Drying Up

Many states rely on the federal government for the vast majority of their emergency management funding. Now, local leaders are looking for clues about the money — and the future of FEMA itself.

I’m flattered people care about the NWC/SPC, but we’ve got to stop with the false reporting of the ROC lease as the NWC lease. The square footage and annual lease cost are nowhere near in the same ballpark. You guys give me a heart attack every time this happens.
