A HUGE bombshell to the weather career field is coming TONIGHT at midnight as NOAA has made early terminations to contracts.
This includes a lot of research and NSSL cloud servers.
What does that include?
- WoFS
- Hazardous Weather Testbed
- tons of other test beds for future research
- National Severe Storms Laboratory
[2:45 PM] Sunday PM severe weather outlook! No major updates, but timing has been narrowed down a little bit. However, there is still some uncertainty on how early initial storms fire off near the Tri-State. Now is the time to have a plan!!! How will you get weather alerts??
New CIPS Model Guidance suggests a greater than 75% risk of any severe weather in almost all of Kentucky throughout Sunday evening into Monday morning. This is just one tool, but I have found it to be a useful integration that usually depicts pretty well, where the "peak" spots may be. Very large hail, significant damaging winds, and a few tornadoes (a couple strong) are absolutely on the table with this guidance display. - George
