@JimCantore @netnwx WESH 2 has had it's own radar for years in Orlando. It has been useful. It's funded by their parent company Hearst Television. We don't need to privatize all of US weather for accuweather to step up and add it's own radar system or other unique weather products.

@JimCantore WESH has their own radar system. Why isn't Accuweather using it's profits to help fill in other radar holes and return something unique and useful to it's users? This looks more like looking for govt handouts and then sell or force ad watch back to the taxpayers to see the data.

Fifth and final pass through Hurricane Melissa for our crew today. Just after noon entering from the NW corner exiting SE.

[Jeremy DeHart @JeremyDeHartWX]

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

@jesseRoss597206 Read any of the NEXRAD instruction manuals out there? They can really help to decipher the data and clutter. https://t.co/CO8jw4FIcY Tracking nocturnal bird migrations with it is something too. https://t.co/9qkZXD7vOc

@TropicalTidbits Thanks for the update and continued upkeep on your site!

Ryan hits the nail on the head. Our National Weather Service is the best in the world, and we enjoy all that it offers for dirt cheap. If you're looking for government waste, this ain't the place.

@WeatherRadar_UK Such dedication to data.. well done!

[Ryan Maue @RyanWeather]

To start meteorological winter 2024-25
I have an essay in NY Times this morning highlighting the importance of NOAA and especially the National Weather Service.

As my focus is numerical weather modeling, I believe it is critical for economic and national security to have world-leading capabilities across all time scales from minutes (tornado warnings), hours, days, and months or years.

The new Congress in January 2025 can immediately get to work on several priorities. With every taxpayer penny under intense scrutiny, I argue that investment in NOAA is money well spent.

@StuOstro @weatherchannel You have always been a favorite forecaster of mine. Thanks for all you've done. Hope you get to feeling better.

The clear, breathtaking eye of Hurricane Milton.

Milton is once again a powerful Category 5 storm.

@webberweather The Excessive Rainfall Outlook maps help. The hollers and valleys may need evacuation zones like the coast. Valley floods are becoming more common. Evacuations should happen sooner and some before the storm. River heights were pretty well forecast.

Flew with Miss Piggy (#NOAA43) into a strengthening Hurricane #Helene this morning.

Please be prepared if you are in the path.

Follow @NHC_Atlantic and @NOAA_HurrHunter for official updates.

Listen to your local officials. Care for your neighbors.

Some July notables: 108.5°F average temperature at Death Valley (hottest month in world history); 126 all-time heat records at stations with 40+ year of records; record warm-temperatures covered 13.8% of the world’s surface. https://t.co/ByftorvLMn

This is going to get expensive: If climate change increases the outside temperature from 96F to 100F, the energy your air conditioner consumes increases by 42%, since the power consumed varies by the square of the temperature difference between the outside and inside.
