I'd love to know from a #meteorologists what we saw in the sky last night.
I'd love to know from a #meteorologists what we saw in the sky last night.
Starts tomorrow. "From Wednesday, May 28th to Sunday, June 1st, join #meteorologists and #climatescientists from across the US as we share our work, and show you what makes it so vital."
With so many vital systems protecting the US public being tampered with-- whether hastily and thoughtlessly or methodically uncaring-- we're challenged to understand the scope of potential harms we're now facing.
And the upshot isn't confined to the United States.
Being better informed leads to better decisions and even decisions where none might have been made at all, a decision to participate.
Join US #meteorologists and #ClimateResearchers to hear details of how we're kept safe by the weather and climate science community--- and how we can stay that way:
"From Wednesday, May 28th to Sunday, June 1st, join meteorologists and climate scientists from across the US as we share our work, and show you what makes it so vital. We will clarify the impact of the cuts on this research, and answer your questions about weather and climate research in the US. Information on how to watch is coming soon. If you are a scientist who wants to participate, please visit this speakers page to learn more."

Happy #Thursday afternoon from the #Northland!
It's been #spring for us #meteorologists since March 1, but now the calendar has passed the #VernalEquinox.
We are enjoying a fine early spring day #weather wise with plenty of #sun, seasonal #temperatures, and a southerly #breeze.
Are there any #meteorologists on #Fedi? Any #weather outlets doing #weatherreports ?
@mattlanza.bsky.social with some very good advice for #meteorologists looking for new work:

About 100 #meteorologists around the US are saying goodbye after getting #fired. Patrece Dayto & Kevin Orpurt were among dozens of meteorologists saying farewell to viewers. TV stations affected R owned by #billionaire Byron Allen who also owns The #WeatherChannel. In a statement, Allen's TV group says weather #forecasting at local station level is being taken over by The Weather Channel. https://www.yahoo.com/news/local-tv-meteorologists-bid-farewell-223704794.html #weather #climatecrisis #environment #disasters #wildfires #censorship #maga
Can any real #meteorologists explain why the loop on the national weather service website is so different to what I see in radarscope? 🤔🙏
It took a plane to spot it.

A #hurricane so small that it could not be observed by #satellite formed this weekend, surprising #meteorologists and even forecasters at the #NationalHurricaneCenter.
#HurricaneOscar developed on Saturday near #Turks and #Caicos, and to the northeast of #Cuba, in the extreme southwestern #AtlanticOcean. As of Saturday evening, hurricane-force winds extended just 5 miles (8 km) from the center of the storm.
Meteorologists, Please Stop the Fearmongering

In today's volatile climate, meteorologists are facing an unprecedented wave of harassment and death threats due to conspiracy theories surrounding hurricane forecasts. As these professionals work tirelessly to provide accurate and timely information to keep communities safe, they are bein
#Meteorologists Get Death Threats as #Hurricane Milton Conspiracy Theories Thrive
It's their job to warn residents about destructive storms — but political polarization has made them targets online
New header: US #meteorologists face death threats as #gop ape Bolsheviks, make everything — #covid, #hurricanes — a conspiracy. #media #CNN #FOX
Tiresome. Professional editors, like professional curators, are most effective when they offer teaching moments that build audience critical thinking skills. But the goals of conspiracy creators are fearful minds, not rational cognitive agents of our own destinies. #meteorologists #misinformation #criticalthinking

👀 JHC. As Hurricane #Milton approaches Florida #meteorologists are staying awake for days at a time trying to get vital, life-saving information out to the folks who will be affected. That’s their job. But this year, several of them tell Rolling Stone, they’re increasingly having to take time out to quell the nonstop flow of #misinformation during a particularly traumatic #hurricane season. And some of them are doing it while being personally threatened.
Different quadrants in a #hurricane have different risks. #Meteorologists use this as a guide to know where the worst damage is possible based on the movement of the storm. #Milton #HurricaneMilton #Florida #weather #science
Hurricane Helene drone flight breaks records for data collection and flying time
As #Hurricane Helene developed in the Gulf of Mexico, #NOAA researchers gathered critical data from the sea and sky to better understand tropical #cyclones and support the National Hurricane Center forecasters. This real time data gives #meteorologists a clearer picture of the storm environment and structure, reducing forecast uncertainty.

@lmc Interesting to see the amount of time given to reporting traffic and weather in the San Francisco and Los Angeles news you tuned in to. (SF, 5 mins traffic, 5 mins weather; LA, 10 mins traffic, 20 mins weather).
We’d be even more interested in hearing whether any of the #meteorologists or other #wx reporters commented on impact of traffic/transportation on #weather. As we noted in https://bikemonterey.org/climate-change-why-speak-up-for-cycling.html:
In California, the California Air Resources Board reported (“California Greenhouse Gas Emissions for 2000 to 2020: Trends of Emissions and Other Indicators, October 26, 2022) “The #transportation sector remains the largest source of GHG emissions in the State. Direct emissions…account for 37 percent of statewide emissions in 2020….When upstream emissions from oil extraction, petroleum refining, and oil pipelines in California are included, transportation is responsible for about 47 percent of statewide emissions in 2020.”

Would you classify this as a Penimbus or a Cumulocockus?
