@RVACoffeeStain @C_Bunz Who?

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

@LukeL22_ When you make a graphic like this it makes it look like the transfer has happened. I hope this helps. You could easily have written “contact Made”

@btwice_11 @JerryRatcliffe CONGRATS!!!! You the man

@largibs It’s just so weird for me. It’s a different game than it was when I played and I actually think they need to change the rules to match what they are calling or there needs to be some sort of massive reset at the beginning of next season.

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

I am getting so old. Looked like a clear travel to me plus there was about 20 other uncalled travels in the game.

The pivot foot seems like it’s just a suggestion now

[Brandon Lloyd @blloyd8298]

That was the most anti-climatic game-winning call from an announcer group I’ve ever heard

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

@UVaHoopsRiffs It’s kind of cool if you ask me. But without winning it all in 2019 it would not be so cool.

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

@SportsWhp @blloyd8298 Who do you think would be good hires?

Morning all! I've been encouraged by the outpouring of support for all of us in NWS/NOAA.

I wanted to specify a detail that I think is relevant from some conversations I've had. Most of us (at least at EMC) who were terminated were officially "probationary" because we are new federal employees, but have been working for NOAA in some capacity (usually on the contract or university side) for 5, 10, 15 years. So we're the group that has the unique combination of early career motivation/drive but also enough expertise to be quickly effective as we are promoted into new roles. This is not the group you'd get rid of if you wanted to make an organization more efficient - it's what you'd do if you want to destroy an organization. I'd like to assume the best and hope that's unintentional. Hopefully the value of what we do can be communicated effectively.

Going into the severe weather and hurricane season, this cannot be good.

The Commerce Department has laid off hundreds of NOAA employees, many with specialized skills who work at one of the world's top climate science and weather forecasting agencies.
Why it matters: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is responsible for providing weather watches and warnings, monitoring and studying Earth's climate, as well as operating weather satellites and protecting marine life.
The layoffs of probationary employees that began Thursday hit soon after cuts at the behest of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency occurred at other climate and environment agencies.
The big picture: NOAA's missions require staff to work around the clock to monitor dangerous weather, earthquakes that could cause tsunamis, and other hazards.
In recent weeks, NOAA's National Weather Service has issued warnings for deadly flooding in Kentucky, heavy snow, frigid temperatures and other hazards across the country.
While NOAA had pushed for public safety exemptions from the layoffs for NWS meteorologists, not all were granted. A congressional aide reported hearing that "some" at NWS were spared but "not many."

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

@UVaHoopsRiffs same. just let it fly

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

@WhatOnEarth68 Seems legit. We have around a 6 inch forecast now but still a lot of play left in the forecast .

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

@LucasFritz Thx Lucas!

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

@dirtmcgirt1020 @nbc Thx. We’ve reported on this

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

Expect lots of mountain bike trail closures for the next couple of weeks. The waves of moisture are going to keep coming.

[RVA Trail Report @RVATrailReport]

Leakes Mill is closed.

[Andrew Freiden @WeatherAF]

@kujo1017 Thx and we are keeping this blog link updated plus the “12 on your side” app is always good. Email is best for me for specific questions.
