Aftermath of the storm near Frederick. Pretty bad. Wet microburst with hail core which cause a rapid change in wind direction as the storm passed. Prolific lightning as well as pea sized hail. @capitalweather@dougkammerer

The National Weather Service @NWS is collaborating with DOGE to modernize its nationwide Weather Radio system. Of their 1033 transmitter sites, ~380 still rely on copper lines from the 1960s.
These lines are expensive ($17M/yr) and faulty. For example, Los Angelesโ T1 line goes down twice each year for 2-14 days. Last week, the team flew out to upgrade from copper to wireless.
Accumulating snow is likely on Sunday across the area. The steadiest snow would be between Sunday morning and early Sunday evening. Visit https://t.co/ZOlvEShgSf for the latest information.
The summit cleared from the fog just before sunrise this morning, and, after nearly continuous freezing fog for a week, the summit looks quite wintry, with feet of rime ice coating coating most surfaces.
