@weatherdan@StrmchsrHunterF That isn’t to be mean or condescending. But when was the last time you could deter a self-assured young person with a tweet? They’re going to do it regardless of what you say. Maybe there is a better way to engage with them.
@weatherdan@StrmchsrHunterF Dan, you work in media. How long would you have a job without getting engagement? Your job is literally to get likes and shares. Your affiliate would drop you in a heartbeat if you didn’t perform. This just amounts to “I’m annoyed they’re more popular than me”.
The morning convection tomorrow is going to cause problems and inhibit development development, then a bunch of whiny storm chasers are going to go on X and loudly accuse the SPC of overhyping because they drove 12 hours to Indiana and didn’t see a mega-wedge tornado.
timelapse from the time around the tornado reports on Monday, you can see the lowering rotation and wrapping rain bands but nothing conclusive from this view #COwx
Not Matt glazing DOGE last year and advocating for cutting NWS. He tries to back off this a bit later, condemning the implementation, but Matt regularly says things that undermine public confidence in public institutions. 1/3
The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.
We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.
Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.
This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.
MyRadar, Accuweather and others want big lucrative contracts from the federal government to take over the operation of public weather infrastructure. Ironically, most of these companies just repackage free Doppler products and Weather models from NWS and NCAR. 3/3
I know I’m going to get some flak for using TikTok, but it’s where my audience is. Does anyone have any idea how to get TikTok to review this and release my video? This is pretty wild considering they have no problem with all those street racing streams 3/3
I livestreamed the Saint Libory, Nebraska tornado to TikTok on Sunday. The stream was cut off abruptly for “violating community guidelines.” The considered the violation so severe that they restricted streaming, gave no option to appeal and won’t let me access the footage. 1/3
The violation was erroneous, they claimed it was “distracted driving”, but the clip they cited clearly shows that I am in a parked vehicle, the car isn’t moving at all. Their AI evidently can’t tell the difference between a moving and non-moving vehicle. 2/3
