Such a disappointing and sad day. Absolutely gutted for those that lost their jobs. And for the anxiety and stress this situation continues to cause.

Atmospheric science degrees leave you with an skillset that allows you to get a job with tech or finance companies that only benefits shareholders, but NWS/NOAA staff with these backgrounds decided instead to work for less money mainly to further science and the public good. Truly public servants.

NOAA, which includes the National Weather Service, has begun laying people off on Thursday. We know that at least one California NWS office has been impacted already. This is a dark day for the weather industry. www.sfchronicle.com/weather/arti...

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

A Thursday temperature surprise in San Francisco? I think these values are a bit too warm. But it just goes to show you what an offshore wind and lots of sunshine can do to temps in the city. #CAwx

This is a remarkable and well-curated archive of American #tornado events from 1992-2025. From a quick glance, I was immediately able to find some notable California examples (including 1998 Sunnyvale F2 & 2018 EF3 pyrotornado in Redding). www.brandoweather.com/radar-museum
