A major winter storm, severe storms within a Tornado Watch and a legitimate hurricane all ongoing simultaneously is not something that happens every day Pretty wild to see them all together on one map

Given the Dec. 26-29 #tornado outbreak, it now appears 2024 will end up in 2nd place behind only one other year since 1950 for most tornadoes in any year. weather.com/storms/tornado…

11 months ago the Los Angeles area got a year's worth of rain and faced life-threatening flooding and mudslides now it's on fire after its driest start to a water year on record. These are the increasing extremes of a warming world.

Is there a link between #ClimateChange & increasing risk/severity of #wildfire in California--including the still-unfolding disaster? Yes. Is climate change the only factor at play? No, of course not. So what's really going on? [Thread] #CAfire #CAwx #LAfires

Levees have been breached and overtopped in numerous locations around Rives, TN. Almost the entire town is flooded. First responders are going door by door by boat to see if anyone needs rescue. #tnwx #flooding

I never publicly comment on political matters because they are usually irrelevant to my work of providing hurricane data and forecasts to people in my personal capacity. Today though, it is highly relevant, and as a member of the meteorological community, I am angry. Planned or

Unfortunately I can confirm the rumors going around today since I received "the email"...I don't want to make any comments other than I am exploring legal options in a couple of avenues. I will probably be deactivating this account for a variety of reasons soon. I always advocate

I never thought I’d be in this position, but I was unexpectedly terminated from my job as an NWS meteorologist. This isn’t just about me—this impacts the future of weather forecasting. #NWS #NOAA

After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected. My job was to strengthen NOAA's use of machine learning and AI for subseasonal-to-decadal weather and climate prediction

"Catastrophic grassland fire danger" being warned of today in Kansas as part of a rare "particularly dangerous situation" red flag warning. Exceptionally bad fire risk today for millions in the Heartland

The Table Rock Fire is encroaching on severely damaged forests from Helene. It remains to be seen how much of an impact this will have on fire behavior. The large timber on the ground may be dry enough to burn, and if so, that could support additional rapid growth.

Yesterday's EF-1 #tornado near Essex, Iowa was rated a preliminary width of 3130 yards, or 1.78mi wide. This is the widest tornado on record (since 1950) in the state surpassing an EF-3 on the infamous Mapleton, Iowa tornado outbreak night in 2011. #IAwx
