Well since COVID-19 pushed off our wedding celebration, I got to marry my bff early AND walk down the aisle to Across the Stars on May 4th. It was a perfect day. #StarWars #aShaferForInphinnity

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences.

Amer. Meteorological Soc. (@ametsoc) just issued a (fully justified) dire statement regarding rapidly accelerating & potentially disastrous efforts to decimate weather & climate enterprise in U.S. If implemented, this would cost many lives & cause major/ long-term economic harm.

Thinking about the people of @noaa and @nws today.

Long time followers here know that I don’t do politics, and there’s no political content on this account. I vote; and that’s it. The world does not need another social media nitwit telling people how to think and vote. 

This post is not about politics, but about support for my friends that work for the National Weather Service, part of NOAA, a federal agency.

NWS meteorologists work long, hard hours serving the people of this country, not only during times of severe weather, but on the routine days as well.

Their surface and upper air observation networks along with computer models, radars, and satellites are critical for all meteorologists, including those of us in the private sector. 

Most NWS field offices are currently understaffed right now. I can only imagine morale is not especially high. 

Many high-level politicians follow this page, both Democrats and Republicans. I would encourage them and all of you to support my colleagues at the National Weather Service during this time. Their service is absolutely invaluable. 

If NWS products and services are reduced, we all suffer…especially during times of life-threatening weather.

Severe weather is expected again today, with large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, and flooding all possible.

Those cleaning up from storms on Friday will want to have a plan for sheltering before storms develop. Even if the storms are not severe, lightning would be a danger.

NHS is in the midst of a crisis. We've been squeaking by for several months, but now we're literally OUT of space. It's urgent that we move dogs out of kennels ASAP.

We have 274 total kennels, including 46 "overflow" kennels. We currently have 272 dogs in kennels.

How do the warming stripes start conversations about climate change? #ShowYourStripes
They are stark visuals which, with a single glance, instantly communicate the simple message that the climate is heating up.
Their strength is the innovative ways that people have adapted them.
