Whether you get your forecast from an app on your phone, a website or a meteorologist on TV, most of the underlying information comes from the federal government. By @rhersher.bsky.social

Five of us at NSSL took the buyout and retired yesterday. It has been an enormous privilege to spend >40 years of my career at such an outstanding research lab. The NWC is a wonderful place to work. In these troubling times, it is fortunate that NSSL has excellent senior managers (DaNa, Pam, Kurt).

What a wonderful video from Cole Vaughn in tribute to all of the many NOAA staff leaving federal service this week. To all of my colleagues, thank you for your service, and I hope you are as proud of NOAA and our work as I am. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si-R...

Quick edit of a tornado NW of Matador, Texas, today. I made a poor repositioning decision earlier and was in catch-up mode the west side of it trying to get back in the lead. But I honestly really like the lighting while the rear flank downdraft was gracious enough to leave it visible. #stormchasing

Neat visualisation/use of threading posts (and nice touch with the blue getting progressively darker)

Quite a few supercells now across AR, northern MS, and western TN that have "that look" in an environment supercell of significant tornadoes. Eek!

Remarkable to see *a second* damaging tornado just west of Tylertown following nearly the same path as the previous supercell did...

I mean, we knew conditions today would be bad, supportive of extreme fire conditions. There are more fires in southwestern and southcentral OK that pop in and out of the swIR imagery depending on the thickness of the lofted dust/dirt. Animations show this better, but can't post aniGIFs here.
