NSSL Warn-on-Forecast model is pretty bullish on supercells with low level rotation in south MS this evening.

This literally life-saving advance weather warning program is under attack because it's part of NOAA. When you're calling and writing to your reps, please consider putting a word in for it too.

Something that deserves recognition:
At federal labs such as NOAA’s NSSL, ESRL, or EMC, most employees are first hired on as contractors through a company or cooperative institute. After several years, many get “promoted” by being hired as Feds. These are the “probationary employees” getting fired

Pleased to announce that the WoFS Team comprised of many of us at NSSL and CIWRO have been awarded the 2025 OAR Outstanding Scientific Paper Award for “Warn on Forecast System: From Vision to Reality”!
I am just one of many that makes up the WoFS Team, but our cumulative effort continues to shine!

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.
GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc.
This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

I’m a federal employee, a research meteorologist at a NOAA lab (OAR-NSSL). I still have my job tonight. Many of my NOAA colleagues and many more of my fellow civil servants don’t. I want to share what people like me do. Instead of doomscrolling, maybe we can learn what civil service looks like.

Dems should subtract 1 billion from the NSSL launch budget for every day that govt funding is delayed lol
And just like that, Republican Unelected Co-President Elon Musk has killed the bill to keep the government from shutting down on Friday. All he had to do was make a few social media posts.
Trump said he’d empower working people, all he’s done is empower the ultra wealthy.

Weather fam…today was my last day at OU/NSSL. It’s been a fantastic post-NWS experience. May the weather enterprise stay connected and dedicated to supporting and protecting human safety and productivity. I will always hold you dear ❤️

Did you know that NSSL has an extensive photo/video collection on Flickr? 🧪https://www.flickr.com/people/noaanssl/
I'll post a few here and try to add some totally serious behind-the-scenes commentary.

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the research arm of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, close all weather and climate labs and eviscerate its budget along with several other NOAA offices, according to internal documents obtained by CNN.

Five of us at NSSL took the buyout and retired yesterday. It has been an enormous privilege to spend >40 years of my career at such an outstanding research lab. The NWC is a wonderful place to work. In these troubling times, it is fortunate that NSSL has excellent senior managers (DaNa, Pam, Kurt).

“Everyone wants more warning time, and that’s why we’re working to upgrade the technology that’s been neglected for far too long to make sure families have as much advance notice as possible,” Noem said. The reality: Closing NOAA labs like NSSL, critical for flash flood forecasts & research.

This is a great story about how NSSL is partnering with the NWS to use Warn-on-Forecast to improve lead time for actionable tornado information. NSSL WoFS research would be seriously curtailed or ended under the OMB proposed NOAA budget.

If this budget is enacted, the United States, which has the most tornadoes on Earth, will no longer have a federal laboratory dedicated to studying them (NSSL).
I can’t overstate how stupefyingly improvident that would be.
