Hello Fall! #orwx #wawx #AutumnVibes

The model thunderstorm guidance for tomorrow is impressive. I have not seen anything quite like this in the 14 years that I have worked at NWS in Portland, Oregon. #orwx

@SenatorCantwell Thank you for recognizing the value of the NWS!

Tonight I sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Lutnick, urging him to exempt NWS from the federal hiring freeze due to the critical role the agency plays in public safety and supporting the economy, and protect all NOAA employees from firings or reduction in force initiatives that would jeopardize the safety of the American public.

Folks are getting worked up about my recent claim that U.S. National Weather Service costs $3-4 per person/year. Well, some math: NWS budget of ~$1.3 billion, ~160 million tax returns, & ~345 million Americans means ~$8/taxpayer, or (indeed) ~$3.75/person. That's...quite a deal.

@MissAshes92 Any main takeaways you want to share with an NWS WCM who was not able to attend?

[Treena Jensen @Treetoro]

@JenLDunn So sorry to hear this news. Hugs to you and your team.

23-year-old Californian Alessandro Slebir may have broke the world record for largest wave ever surfed.

The wave was part of the storm that demolished the Santa Cruz Wharf last month.

The wave is believed to be 108 ft tall, according to Mavericks Rescue Team, which would beat the current record of 86-feet in Portugal held by Sebastian Steudtner.

Judging official wave heights is pretty difficult. For Steudtner’s 86-foot wave, it took 18 months for Guinness World Records to give him the title.

“Regardless of the number, it really doesn’t matter how big the wave was to me. It was really the biggest wave of my life and that’s all I really care about at the moment,” Slebir said, according to SFGate.

The wave was caught at Mavericks near Half Moon Bay.

@morganabigail You are an amazing WCM, and are killing it. Be extra kind to yourself today, and give yourself a couple of rest days soon. And yes, coffee and coffee. You got this!

It's finally done. Over 3 days of hand-plotting 173 years' worth of data. The end result is unbelievable.

What an incredible dataset to look at.
