Very cool! Nice work!
Last day to submit comments!
@nws.noaa.gov Director Ken Graham presented on NOAA’s modeling grand challenge at #AMS2026 this morning. He announced that the NWS is moving to MPAS as its modeling dynamical core, with his #1 moonshot goal being a global, fully coupled 3-km Earth prediction system using MPAS.
Yeah a lot of model sites have Kuchera but I wish Cobb technique maps were available instead of just point data.
The National Weather Service will host an onsite hiring event at the upcoming AMS Student Conference in Houston
Congratulations!
With the mental gymnastics to not overturn that Rams touchdown… send those refs to the Olympics… #LionsVsEverybody
Yeah the story gets more wild and insane each development.
Today’s xkcd made me cry.
In a good way.

A horrific accident early Saturday morning left a car in the side of an NWS office and the office relying on the NWS service backup system. Service backup is important in situations like this - but also is being increasingly used due to NWS staffing and infrastructure issues. tinyurl.com/4txuyhbz
This awesome! I can’t wait for this to come out and see what drives the model!

Yep... Whole state is clouded over. Hoping tomorrow night works out.

Day 40 of the shutdown, that’s 2 missed paychecks and part of a third. Federal employees (including my colleagues at the National Weather Service) continue working without knowing when they’ll be paid, or are furloughed. If you know someone affected, please check in on them. #GovernmentShutdown2025
Can’t wait to read this!
We’ve got a TDS
The Tigers have managed to age me by 5 years over the course of this series.
Awesome!!!

The CSSL/NTP assisted the US National Weather Service (NWS) with their upgrading of the official rating of the June 2025 Enderlin, ND tornado from EF3 to EF5.
Announced by the NWS today, it’s the first EF5-rated tornado in the US since 2013.

Spoden: Our training trains us for everything, except how to live with a mistake. How do you handle that?
No better way to spend Labor Day than in the UP of Michigan :)
And before unknowing people jump to the conclusion that this was an adversarial relationship, it was quite the opposite. NWS management and the union together made the agency stronger resulting in improved services.
INBOX: National Weather Service employees organization files federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump's executive order to ban some federal unions.
Why do we care about continued investment in our weather radar infrastructure? Without a reliable, modernized radar network, we lose valuable time in seeing tornadoes *before* they threaten places and people. The below percentages indicate that radar prompts 9 out of 10 warnings!
Excited to see @wxkylegillett.bsky.social paper on Sounderpy officially published! Sounderpy has been revolutionary in getting and visualizing sounding data! [
