Hi! Meteorologist here.
“Straight-line winds” have been a thing since the last interglacial. Shortly after the glaciers left, thunderstorms began here. And thunderstorms are prone to producing wind.
Yesterday Secretary @ScottSchwabKS was honored to swear in the newly elected mayors of @KSBoysState. Best of luck to all the participants this session. #ksleg
@AaronRigsbyOSC The version of RRFS that will be implemented only performed marginally worse than HRRR in internal testing and the MPAS version of RRFS outperformed HRRR. No model has ever outperformed HRRR since its implementation
📻 GP: "Looking like P5 for now. That would be ahead of Russell and Hamilton."
📻 Max: "Yeah. Okay. I think that's already a massive improvement for us, so well done everyone. Well done."
📻 Mekies: "Well done Max, very good steps into the right directions. It's only a first step."
📻 Max: "Yeah, we keep working. It's nice, to restart like this already. Really good job to everyone!"
That is not how this works. There have always been specific NWS offices that do balloons. The tornadoes in Kansas weren't due to lack of data. The capping was projected to remain in place, preventing storms, it broke and spawned at least 2 tornadoes
I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.
@RealMNchiefsfan I would rather have Denzel Boston than concepcion. I am tired of undersized WR's that are supposedly great at beating coverage, we need size at the position!
