#HurricaneMelissa left #meteorologists stunned and worried
Melissa's extreme winds, periods of rapidly intensifying winds, and the way it skipped a typical replacement of its inner core amazed scientists who study tropical cyclones.
In the minds of many – but not all – #hurricane and #climate experts, Melissa’s terrifying trip through the #Caribbean also piled on evidence of the increasing influence of a warming ocean on an evolving hurricane landscape.

What #Pacific ‘blob’ + #LaNiña means for #winter in #US
What is clear to #meteorologists is that the Pacific #heatwave may be a significant player in influencing late fall and winter #weather patterns across large parts of the #NorthernHemisphere.
The big question mark for winter in the #UnitedStates is what the extreme #ocean heat, with water #temperatures running as much as 9 degrees Fahrenheit above average for this time of year, will do to the #jetstream.

Tracking Aftermath From #HurricaneErin on #Ocean
#Meteorologists piece together aftereffects in #hurricane’s path, and look ahead to future storms.
One key signature is temperature. Ocean is layered like a cake, with warm water on top and cold water below. #Hurricanes churn those layers, bringing cooler water to surface. Because hurricanes feed on heat, this cooling effect could weaken future storms in area, said Greg Foltz, #oceanographer at #NOAA

#NationalWeatherService is now hiring back hundreds of positions that got cut in the #DOGE chaos
#NWS has received permission to hire 450 #meteorologists, #hydrologists and radar technicians just months after being hit hard by DOGE related cuts and early retirement incentives.
The new hiring number includes 126 new positions that were previously approved and will apply to “front-line mission critical” personnel, a #NOAA official told CNN.

"Hurricanes. Typhoons. Cyclones. Tropical storms. Tropical depressions. What does it all MEAAAN? Let’s dive in.

Career #meteorologists Dr. Kim Wood of the University of Arizona and Space City Weather’s Matt Lanza join for a two-guest two-parter to address the “deadlier” female-named hurricanes, why hurricane season happens, the category system, where hurricanes come from, why they have eyes, and how we track cyclones’ paths so we can stay out of them.

Do #meteorologists not know that mid is short for middle? I live in St Louis. Middle of the god damn country. And yet I constantly read news reports that stay dangerous storms tore through the #Midwest. Omg, where? South Dakota. Wisconsin. Michigan. That is NOT Midwest.

Does anyone happen to know how #meteorologists currently track #tornadoes?

We've apparently got an active one near #Lodgepole / #DraytonValley atm (~17:20) but what I'm seeing on #EnvironmentCanada #DopplarRadar doesn't look like what I'd expect based on a documentary I saw on this some years back.

Just curious, not criticising. 🙂

So reports are, as usual, Trump's blaming everyone else for embarrassingly low turnout for his birthday bash parade, esp #meteorologists who predicted poss storms in DC at the time of the parade.

Predicting the weather has never been ez or 100%.

But #ClimateChange has made predictions even more difficult & iffy than usual. So have #DOGE chain-saw staffing & budget cuts.

Appreciate meteorologists - scientists who do their best to provide the public w/useful, imp, even life-saving information.

I'd love to know from a #meteorologists what we saw in the sky last night.

Starts tomorrow. "From Wednesday, May 28th to Sunday, June 1st, join #meteorologists and #climatescientists from across the US as we share our work, and show you what makes it so vital."

https://wcstreamathon.netlify.app/

With so many vital systems protecting the US public being tampered with-- whether hastily and thoughtlessly or methodically uncaring-- we're challenged to understand the scope of potential harms we're now facing.

And the upshot isn't confined to the United States.

Being better informed leads to better decisions and even decisions where none might have been made at all, a decision to participate.

Join US #meteorologists and #ClimateResearchers to hear details of how we're kept safe by the weather and climate science community--- and how we can stay that way:

"From Wednesday, May 28th to Sunday, June 1st, join meteorologists and climate scientists from across the US as we share our work, and show you what makes it so vital. We will clarify the impact of the cuts on this research, and answer your questions about weather and climate research in the US. Information on how to watch is coming soon. If you are a scientist who wants to participate, please visit this speakers page to learn more."

Happy #Thursday afternoon from the #Northland!

It's been #spring for us #meteorologists since March 1, but now the calendar has passed the #VernalEquinox.

We are enjoying a fine early spring day #weather wise with plenty of #sun, seasonal #temperatures, and a southerly #breeze.

Are there any #meteorologists on #Fedi? Any #weather outlets doing #weatherreports ?

@mattlanza.bsky.social with some very good advice for #meteorologists looking for new work: 🧵

About 100 #meteorologists around the US are saying goodbye after getting #fired. Patrece Dayto & Kevin Orpurt were among dozens of meteorologists saying farewell to viewers. TV stations affected R owned by #billionaire Byron Allen who also owns The #WeatherChannel. In a statement, Allen's TV group says weather #forecasting at local station level is being taken over by The Weather Channel. https://www.yahoo.com/news/local-tv-meteorologists-bid-farewell-223704794.html #weather #climatecrisis #environment #disasters #wildfires #censorship #maga

Can any real #meteorologists explain why the loop on the national weather service website is so different to what I see in radarscope? 🤔🙏

It took a plane to spot it.

A #hurricane so small that it could not be observed by #satellite formed this weekend, surprising #meteorologists and even forecasters at the #NationalHurricaneCenter.

#HurricaneOscar developed on Saturday near #Turks and #Caicos, and to the northeast of #Cuba, in the extreme southwestern #AtlanticOcean. As of Saturday evening, hurricane-force winds extended just 5 miles (8 km) from the center of the storm.
