Psst: Notice where this wind/weather data is coming from. It's coming from NCAR.
One tiny blip of the kajillion things NCAR does to improve/advance weather forecasting.

The @NCAR_Science is quite literally our global mothership.
Nearly everyone who researches climate and weather - not only in the US, but around the world - has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) supports the scientists who fly into hurricanes, the meteorologists who develop new radar technology, the physicists who envision and code new weather models, and yes - the largest community climate model in the world. That too.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Because why just write a song about how your ex broke you when you can make him play it onstage in front of thousands while you scream it into his face? 🔥
New @WWAttribution study finds #Milton’s rainfall was made 20-30% more intense by Climate Change, the intensity of rain made 2X more likely. The storm made 10% more intense and storms of a similar intensity now have a 40% greater likelihood of occurring. https://t.co/zSL2RCPO22
From Long Island, NY, the Aurora this evening.
Caused by charged solar particles arriving at Earth from yesterday's solar flare. They slam into atmospheric molecules of Oxygen and Nitrogen, rendering them a-glow. Here, Red and Green are visible, with the Big Dipper looking on.
To everyone in the path of #HurricaneMilton, we join with @fema to urge you to LEAVE NOW if you are in an evacuation zone; there will not be time to leave on Wednesday.

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor: “I can say this without any dramatization whatsoever: If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die.”
