@MCCCANM NTSB is transparent, meticulous, professional and provides real value. The gold standard of government oversight.

@edgarrmcgregor I recently addressed this with a couple on air mets who said i was wrong. Forecasts have not improved in the last decade imho. Especially mid term.

@EpsilonTheory Starting to think you aren't a fan of evil

@RedditCFB It's rough being an Arkansas fan rn

@SteveNomadic You think 1 to 3.8 miles away suggests it separated at altitude in the storm or on the way down? Kind of close but that plane came down pretty straight.

@RyanWeather Suppose this data is only available via grib. grib is the reason i quit even trying to map anything. Why can't getting an xarray of HR 6 Lat Y to Y2 lon X to X2 be just a bit simpler without 15 libraries?

@alsochad There's in over your head and then there's this. Oof

@Wxandgardenguy @RyanWeather There's a few running wrf core for micro forecasts, but pretty sure they don't give it away. A decent Linux machine and some AI help you could run your own for free for local stuff. WRF core is open source.

@mattlanza I used 12K NAM parameters for a 24 hr supercell composite for a few years that did a great job overall. Didn't need huge data requirement. High enough res for a basic picture. Was a good tool. I'll miss it nostalgia wise.

@SteveNomadic @Turbinetraveler Hate to be blunt but pretty sure we already know what happened here. They flew into an updfraft and literally froze their tail off.

@ryanvaughan Traffic was stopped on I40 for a bit so there was something.
Pretty wild.

[Steven Watt @hogear]

@mattlanza You're a straight shooter so..
My take: Forecasts are not significantly better today than 15 years ago. I might be biased, also don't follow as closely as i did. Your take?

Hey AI, generate an image of a tweedle bug, it's an imaginary thing where you use your index finger as a head and the rest of your hand as legs

@Poeslawisalive I give my wife's dog more affection

@JamesBryantWX BYU was fun to watch. Actually the whole day lol

@akrherz I remember telling my dad 21 years ago that sharing real time global fact was going to change everything. In my defense, I was close.

I don't take anyone at their word anymore, but Cuban is actually out there making lives better. It's just a fact.

We also manufacture using unique technology in pods the size of a tractor trailer, what used to take a standalone building. They are literally portable and can stand up anywhere. Can be daisy chained for volume and different types drugs. Including N of 1 drugs at a fraction of the bc pet of current approaches.

@RugsWX Kinda sounds like a coaching issue.

@JohnNaborsShow KJ is also a horrible QB
