"Meteorologists are always wrong"
The cone of uncertainty from Friday evening, before it was even a named storm... Only slightly north and probably a few hours later than we'll see unfold today.

I can, with 100% certainty, assure you that the folks at whatever NWS office are well aware of any mistakes made last night.
They do not need endless tags/attacks because of it. They are human beings too, with homes and lives impacted by the weather as well.

Screaming into the void again: tornado ratings do not matter when lives were destroyed. Salivating over the end of the “EF4 drought” in Oklahoma or screaming about how the “EF5 drought” still stands is immature, heartless, and disgusting. Do better.

There is a considerable difference between “was an EF-5” and “had EF-5 strength winds”. Our field is about communication, and verbiage like this that contradicts what could come from the NWS only causes confusion.

While you’re not deriving the QG Chi equation everyday in the real world, having a fundamental understanding of dynamics is critical to be a good forecaster. You can’t pass or learn dynamics without calculus, it’s just a part of the beast.
🔥 HOT TAKE 🔥 - Unless you're going into a sector in Meteorology where you have to understand the fluid dynamics of the atmosphere like a weather model developer or something, you SHOULD NOT have to take such advanced Math just to get a degree in Meteorology. I have spoken to…

Does OU realize that by cutting programs, they are losing all the students in those programs and their money, thus forcing them to cut MORE programs. This is beginning a vicious cycle that may not end until OHIO University is just a memory.

Women must contort themselves and do the impossible to succeed in any field, especially academia.
This might be a testament to her resilience, but this is absolutely appalling behavior by the school.
Congratulations to Rutgers GSE graduating student Dr. Tamiah Brevard-Rodriguez on the delivery of her baby boy Enzo and her dissertation defense—all on the same day!

If scrolling through social media after last night has taught me anything, it’s that people that grew up in the OKC metro really believe it’s local news stations that issue warnings…

To every student starting those scary classes this semester:
- I had to take Calculus 2 three times before I got a passing grade.
- I got C’s in both physics courses.
- I wouldn’t have made it through Dynamics without my peers (and got a 50% on the first exam)
It’s worth it :)

The atmosphere doesn’t care if the SPC picks green, yellow, orange, red or pink for an area. Any risk for severe weather is a risk.
It's not out of the question, but here's the thing: It really doesn't matter whether we have a Moderate or High Risk. We want everyone to be aware of the weather regardless of what the outlook risk is.

A year ago, I saw you alive for the last time. 5 days later the ambulance would pass me. A day later I’d get a text that you were gone. 2 days later I’d find out you had took your own life.
Hug your friends a little tighter, let them know you love them. You’re never alone. ❤️

The world is a better place with women like Liz. Thank you,
@WxLiz
, for being a role model to all of us babies in the field. There’s no one better to look up to. 🫶🏻
Looks like the “diabolical lies” have allowed me to dominate in a male-dominated field at the world-class center in my field, all while raising happy, healthy, & bright kids alongside a supportive husband. 💅🏼💁🏻♀️ if you fear strong, capable, kickass women, good. We don’t need you.

Imagine being mad at someone for expressing concern about the unsafe and dangerous path the storm chasing community is taking and attempting to hold people accountable before something terrible happens. Couldn’t be the Reed worshippers among us… 🥴
I’m an NWS meteorologist.
Protecting lives and property is our mission & one I proudly support.
At a time where instances of “zero-metering” tornadoes & chaser-related fatalities continue to rise, I’ll happily stand to promote safe and responsible storm chasing practices.

This is so sad. We’re reaching a point where all students and resources will be funneled into the large programs, where students just become a number. I’m beyond thankful for my experience in a small program, and I fear we’ll see many of these small programs end the same way.
Please support the Atmospheric Science Club at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
We are going to have the best next year we possibly can and finish out this semester strong.
(Support the celebration of life 🪦🥀)
PLUS THEY ARE ON SALE!!

6 months into the real adult meteorology world and I really needed this. ❤️
Some thoughts for recent grads entering the workforce, especially in meteorology:
The transition from student to real life working adult can be rough. You may find yourself moving away from you network of friends & family to a place you don’t know well or have a support network.
