Those of you who are meteorologists or adjacent, but do NOT work a traditional job like broadcast TV or NWS, please comment down below. Yes, even if it has nothing to do with weather. I suspect there are a lot more opportunities in this field than most people realize #wxtwitter

A thread w/ a few things to say about Beryl and Houston and my own messaging. If you don't live in Houston, you do not understand Houston. People here are SKIDDISH about storms. And for justifiable reasons. This place has had disaster after disaster in recent years. 1/15

What’s your precipitype? Are you versatile and dependable, like rain? Or sensitive and loyal, like graupel? Maybe a natural born leader, like hail? Try our precipitation personality quiz to find out: noaa.gov/education/mult… ☔❄️☁️ @NOAA @NWS @NOAAclimate

Oh wow. I know there's research out there examining the visual representation of radar signatures of supercells, but this makes me wonder if there's a research opportunity here to analyze photographs. In the age of smartphones and social media there's certainly enough out there!

More research is definitely needed on any psychological factors preventing forecasters from issuing certain kinds of warnings including this fear of public response or potential lack of response!

Interesting talk from @WxKelsey about how forecasters used something called "BVOT" in test warning scenarios... Looks like the fear of over-warning by forecasters is a big deal when considering a tornado emergency. #ams2023

Come see me talk about a vulnerability assessment tool and its impacts on forecaster communication and tornado emergencies! #AMS2023

There are several other products or concepts that we've developed that we hoped would help us communicate weather impacts and risk that ended up potentially making things worse because the public didn't quite understand it. Probability of precipitation comes to mind.

MAYBE we should get rid of the cone altogether and put all emphasis on the watches and warnings? The cone seems to be far more of a distraction, often not applicable to the specific storm, and extremely unclear what it translates to for expectations of public action.

I think NOAA should establish a dedicated communications branch at this point. Create press releases tailored to each event, specifics on what to communicate and HOW to communicate it that they push to media outlets. Discrepancies btw sources are getting problematic and public /1

Very important not to fixate on the cone!

To illustrate the #wxcomms challenge: my dad moved to Tallahassee a few years ago. He asked if he should follow the Euro or American model. I said follow the NHC forecast & he asked, “what’s that?” Great that mets have so much data but it’s too in the weeds for some, like my dad.

This storm is so big it will take about 3 hours for the sun to fully set on it.
