Want to know where local @NWS forecast offices are no longer monitoring weather around-the-clock? @ssdance and @JohnMuyskens have you covered: https://t.co/7vGJ4Gyrdq

[Capital Weather @capitalweather]

Scoop from @ssdance: As the National Weather Service scrambles to fill vacancies, staffing at four local forecast offices is so critical that they are no longer operating 24-7. More offices are expected to follow soon.

"The facilities being eyed for closures serve as nerve centers essential to disseminating warnings of tornadoes and other weather hazards, feeding weather observations into forecasting models used around the world."

Happy winter solstice to the Northern Hemisphere & summer solstice to the Southern Hemisphere!

It's the longest day for the south and the shortest day for the north, due to Earth's axial tilt and orbit of the Sun.

Thursday's major quake off the coast of California didn't produce a tsunami, but it struck a region likely to see one one day — a reminder of that danger and the work still to be done to prepare for such an event. by @HazardWriter: https://t.co/CgM9RyIX2Q

It was supposed to get cooler this year, as the El Niño weather pattern subsided. But it didn't, and that's why scientists are so worried. @ssdance and @BenNollWeather lay out what it means, for all of us https://t.co/JYVdcN8Ecm

The Northeast is used to sending its wildland firefighters out West to help out. This year, they’ve been importing firefighting assistance, instead. “This is new for us,” a veteran Connecticut fire official said. https://t.co/9jVHuTav2c
