Meanwhile, 13,057 (total) strikes over the last hour in Kansas along the boundary with a clear hook forming SW of Wellington, KS. #KSwx

3,915 of those in the last hour were Cloud-to-Ground lightning strikes. #COwx #WYwx

Half of Google Cloud is down. They done goofed and took half the internet with them.

Network issues from within the National Weather Service.

Spoke too soon on the Level 3 radar. Not even real sure we've seen much of a resolution on the delays; they just cleared the queue and now things seem to be stacking up again. Ugh.

In some cases over an hour. Tornado Warning #9 from KCAE never even made it. Thousands of text products are missing despite the queue being cleared. NEXRAD Level 3 only just now returned reliably.

EM reported to NWS for the warning issuance. A chaser not on Bluesky submitted this SN report.

I can't count how many times the NWS has filled up their databases. We have quota alerts for a reason yet this issue continues to happen. Very fortunate that this was during an inactive weather period.

... and we're back. Fortunately the CONUS is fairly quiet today.

GRB = GOES Rebroadcast. That's it, only GOES data. Comes from the satellite.
SBN & NOAAPORT mean the same thing. Text/model/radar.

Unidata's EDEX is fed via NOAAPORT. They have GRB dishes but you're only getting the satellite data; no radar, models or text products are disseminated via GRB.

Nice stuff!

I haven't heard any news regarding NOAAPort or AWIPS in the cloud. With that said, seemingly everything at NOAA/NWS is seemingly in limbo.

Thank you for the critique.

My response was geared toward a science and technology journalist.

Correlation Coefficient (CC) shows a Tornadic Debris Signature (TDS) well when the lower values are surrounded by higher values, like in this case and accompanied by high reflectivity values (BR) with tight rotation (BV/SRV). You’d also be looking for a Differential Reflectivity (DR) near 0.

Better displayed in @radarscope.app with surface observations.

Glad I was able to work with the great team @radarscope.app on this. I also improved the satellite imagery resolution and time between decoding and availability. METAR data is coming directly from the FAA so it's as timely as it gets.

Jeanine Pirro in the background laughing as a former judge and prosecutor is... something else.

The same SBN which the NWS intends on discontinuing in 2027.
(Note that they did this to some legacy NEXRAD products and the discontinuation was postponed for 5+ years before they fully followed through with it.)

Good to see you switch over from X. I know many of us are in the process of doing the same.
