A tornado happened… if it wasn’t for you blowing this up people would have just seen a warning with a tornado that happened.

If we wanna talk about messaging that does more harm than good, want to talk about your YouTube thumbnails?

[NWS Storm Prediction Center @NWSSPC]

The MCS that moved from E IA to northern IN today has been preliminarily confirmed as a derecho.

Based on the preliminary info thus far it began around 12Z this morning and continued to at least 1725 UTC.

The max measured gust received thus far was 86 kts (99 mph) in Gary, IN

[Kevin Deitsch @KDeitschwx]

Fellow meteorologists have every right to question NWS decisions. However, sitting behind a keyboard questioning them in the heat of battle is not constructive. We put the public in an impossible position (should they act or not?) and it sews distrust among us all. Send an email.

[Kyle J Gillett @wxkylegillett]

Regardless of warning performance, openly discrediting the weather service has the same effect on the public as warning fatigue. These (needed) discussions should be held internally, not in the public where thousands of people are reading that "the NWS is not worth listening to".
