@lrozen The obvious follow up would be “Mr. President, it sounds you are saying you would be ok with Putin jamming your phone?”

One key point here: the kind
of research I describe in https://t.co/nILzPWytVQ has been successful BUT it’s now being undermined, at the cost of future forecasting improvements. Thanks @lauracmorel @MotherJones for putting a focus on this.

Hurricane season begins with Trump gutting the "gold standard" weather services that save lives.

New from me in @USATODAY:

What really takes place in the 122 local forecast offices of @NWS and why more than ever it’s critical to protect that work from staff and budget cuts. #wx #wxtwitter

@COweatherman @NickPBassill And for an example of how it’s done right, I wrote about wildfire weather alerts and response in San Diego County, where NWS, utility officials, EMs, Cal Fire and city services in constant collaboration. OK end of 🧵.

[Tom Weber @tweber]

Texas officials now are busy trying to blame the National Weather Service. Beyond that misguided reaction, a few important points - a quick 🧵

[Tom Weber @tweber]

@COweatherman @NickPBassill Bottom line: in face of extreme weather, work to be done in turning good forecasts into good outcomes, an effort that demands more fm state and local officials. It’s a key theme of https://t.co/pdBZReATqz so I feel distressed (but unsurprised) to see this blame-shifting in Texas
