@weatherwilly It’s easy to give a forecast for the interior northern mid Atlantic if you don’t define your terms. What states are they? PA? DE? Is Phila interior or coastal?
@MeteoMark I like the way Mark’s map carved out a nice protective hole for Philadelphia. I couldn’t find any model that did that, so I assume Mark has family members there who are under his care.
@BigJoeBastardi "People nationwide depend on NOAA for free, accurate forecasts, severe weather alerts, and emergency information. Purging the government of scientists, experts, and career civil servants and slashing fundamental programs will cost lives."
@Piorko519Matt@BigJoeBastardi “This loss of talent at NOAA is going to set the agency back years and compromise the integrity of missions that directly support human health and safety, economic prosperity and national security,”
@BigJoeBastardi "Project 2025 also suggested commercializing the National Weather Service, one of the agency’s most well-known arms, which provides weather forecasts and lifesaving warnings.
Among the authors of the policy blueprint are many people who now hold senior roles"in Trump World.
@BigJoeBastardi "The firings on Thursday are expected to be just the first wave of departures. Several hundred more staff members are expected to leave on Friday....On top of that, the Trump administration is expected to cancel contracts of workers affiliated with NOAA,"
@BigJoeBastardi New york Times: "The firings are expected to cost more than 800 people their jobs, out of a total of about 13,000 staff members." Hey Joe, I know the NYT is not a MAGA newspaper, but it wouldn't hurt you to read it once in a while.
@BigJoeBastardi So you're saying that it's not possible for a storm that develops on the gulf coast to come up the east coast and that's your excuse???
@beaver_jef10926@BigJoeBastardi On the large scale, forecast services were exceptional. Forecasters provided NWS field offices with an early "heads up" concerning the potential
development of a low pressure system in the western Gulf of Mexico.

all levels of government, local decision makers, and businesses to make timely life
and property decisions both before and during the event..."
@BigJoeBastardi Bustardi is still pushing for his blizzard with an old snow map, although other forecasters have now given up on the blizzard and the models are agreeing to no blizzard. Just coincidence he is still hyping blizzard in the same paragraph he is pushing for radio listeners?
@AccuRayno The weather guy who was pushing the big I-95 snow storm, and who warned us to be wary of the "windshield wiper effect," caves in, big time, to the very thing he warned us about.

- The X post is associated with a trend where residents in Southern California are on alert due to a social media prediction of a major earthquake, questioning whether it's science or speculation.
- Scientific consensus suggests that predicting the exact time of earthquakes is currently beyond our capabilities, which adds context to the skepticism surrounding the prediction.
- Southern California has several active faults like the Rose Canyon, San Jacinto, and Elsinore, increasing the region's seismic risk, which might explain the focus on this area for the prediction.
@fox5dc All the idiots who are criticizing obviously never read the whole article. Neither the headlines nor the accompanying article states that a blizzard will be happening. The article clearly says it is too early to determine the final outcome.
