The new director of @NHC_Atlantic is an @NCState grad, we’re in good hands. #gopack


Had an incredible time at @NOAA_HWT last week testing Tiny TIM and it’s utility in operations. Can’t wait for it to hit the streets!

It takes a village, thank you to everyone who supports the weather and the people getting the weather

Happy #nationalweatherpersonsday to all in the weather enterprise! That doesn’t just mean professional meteorologists: observers, spotters, ambassadors - anyone who is helping others be weather-aware! (Including spouses/SOs who put up with us, looking at you @dhencoco) 🙃



Come hang out with me tomorrow in Columbia and learn about how to spot severe weather! #midmowx #mowx

Kids today get a push notification that school is cancelled instead of having to wake up early and watch the news like the NFL draft


Facts.

You've seen the "North Carolina has 12 seasons" meme. It turns out that in 2022, we did! Here's our interpretation of last year in #NCwx.

Honored to share the work we’ve been doing at @NWSStLouis to acknowledge the role we’ve played in ignoring certain communities and how we’re righting those wrongs. We’ve made a good start, but there’s a lot of work ahead of us.

Color coordination: 10/10 @_mermalade and @FMtheWeatherman sharing their great work at @NWSStLouis to make intentional decisions about where and who to reach in their outreach activities. #AMS2023

Join @_mermalade & I at #AMS2023 (1/11 10:45a MT) to discuss inequitable outreach efforts at @NWSStLouis & how we're righting the ship. Come for the ways we're using data, trust, & honesty to be more equitable to under-resourced communities. Stay for the 🔥 coordinated outfits.

With #AMS2023 only a week out, we are excited to highlight our sessions for the week! Check out our page for session updates or check out our program online. Session J10: A WIN is a WEN II Wednesday, 1/11 | 10:45A - 12P MST tinyurl.com/4zdcvtyv #AMSWRN

Going to #AMS2023? Come see @FMtheWeatherman and I present about GIS, data, and equity within the @NWS

We're sending two meteorologists to the #AMS2023 conference next week to present "Equity Isn’t Automatic: Leveraging Targeted, Data-Driven Outreach to Empower a Weather-Ready Nation for All" to talk about how we are using data to target outreach into underserved areas!



Thank you to all of the @NWS staff working shift today (and everyday) to keep everyone safe while the rest of us nap. You’re the real MVPs!

We're a little early, but from your local meteorologists/hydrologists/technicians/administrative staff, #MerryChristmas! Pictured: a meteorologist blasting festive music while updating the forecast in the glow of his Christmas Cactus. Have a safe, restful holiday everyone!

It’s cool how the NWS gets blamed for the snow hype they did not encourage or participate in. Selective memory is my favorite part of the winter.

Here's some science for your Saturday! Winter months often place long range forecasts into focus with excitement regarding the chance for snow or the next big storm. Here's how we assess the potential for snow and other weather several days ahead of time. #stlwx #mowx #ilwx

Anybody with a 6-7 day snowfall map is selling you something.

So you're asking why your local #STL weather folks aren't giving you specific snow forecasts for the middle of next week? We are confident of the arctic cold arriving, snowfall may OR may not happen as the forecast discussion from @NWSStLouis pretty much sums it up #stlwx

I didn’t think it was possible for these to look better in person but they do. Doubt me? Buy your own and see for yourself.

Did you miss out on ordering this sick tshirt? Good news! We’re doing a *local* reorder! Fill out the order form here: forms.gle/JCAe3TiQCKdM4G…
