Several Regional Climate Center websites are inoperable after funding lapsed April 17. These sites are the hub of widely-circulated charts of weather/climate data. The Western Regional Climate Center site is still functioning (funded thru June 17) but some tools shared across centers are broken.

I use these websites daily to add context to my digital weather forecasts. These regional climate center websites will be sorely missed.

4 of the 6 RCC's (Southeast, Midwest, High Plains, Western) are currently down. It is unclear when (if) they return. Thanks, I hate it.

🤬 There go three of the six regional climate centers. Do note the Southern Regional Climate Center also has a funding lapse today and their site could go down at any time. The other two (Northeast and Western) will have funding lapse on 17 June 2025. 🧪

Some news. Those of you that utilize the cli-MATE tool from the Midwest Regional Climate Center will no longer have access unless funding is restored before the 17th. A huge loss.

I want to thank @sfchronicle.com for actually publishing these files (the passback yesterday and the agreement today). Too many outlets publish stories based on these files but don’t publish the files to actually read them.

Lowlights: * Only 1 per day hand-edited forecasts * Permanent 1 per day balloon launches if 25%+ vacancy at office * No balloon launches if an office goes to 3 shifts/day * Reduced shifts * Combining offices The world's example for weather services is being destroyed.

The Northeast RCC operates ACIS/xmACIS, widely used by the weather and climate enterprise. The western RCC just updated all of their maps and products, a good chunk of it in the cloud. Midwest and High Plains RCC have a lot of great ag products @mattlanza.bsky.social @spann.bsky.social

OMB wants a cost-benefit analysis to keeping the GLM on the next round of geostationary satellites by May 9. A lot of work to accomplish, but I'm sure some has already been done. They say that the next satellites shouldn't have GLM unless it saves more lives than denser ground-based networks.
