A nice campaign by AGU to amplify voices against dismantling NCAR. Also, as a Colorado resident, I called my (GOP) house rep and actually talked to someone ?!? https://t.co/9BCa9TkeTe

The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

Psst: Notice where this wind/weather data is coming from. It's coming from NCAR. One tiny blip of the kajillion things NCAR does to improve/advance weather forecasting. #COwx
The wind has arrived... 60+ mph gusts at the Mesa Lab in Boulder, all kicking up within the last half hour. This moves into the rest of the metro area in the next few hours. #COwx

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, & disaster research underpinning half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, & increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Closing down one of the world's premier weather research facilities for purely political reasons is so fucking dumb.

Science communication and engaging with an audience are such complex and difficult things and we're just saying AI does it best?

Such a bummer the craft of graphic design/scicomm being thrown down the tubes by NWS encouraging AI use like this. Also ridiculous stuff like this with misspellings and slop characters are being shown operationally.

Very cool graphic alert... incredible work by @jreiterwx. Props to @FerragamoWx for inspiring us to make this!
Every Category 4 and 5 Atlantic hurricane since 2020, all together, in one group photo. H/t to @FerragamoWx for the inspiration.

Circling the world over the last couple of nights, the aurora borealis put on quite a spectacular show in the sky of the northern hemisphere.

Last night, a severe geomagnetic storm painted magnificent colors of the northern lights across a starry canvas over North America.
