Despondent weatherman goes off-script on live TV to explain why he ‘can’t’ forecast anymore

This is the most frightening thing - that meteorologists, who know that climate systems are not linear: “… don't know in detail how bad this next year will be, as it's never been this hot.”

Holy Freaking Crap; So as of June 1st, #Texas was slated to have only 8-10 days spread out between July through September to be at or over 100 Degrees, as of today July 4th, #Texas now will see the next 7 days in a row at or above 100 Degrees, as most of the Nation is under a massive #HeatDome thanks to the #Jetstream Stalling, but what You have not been told is that the Pacific and Atlantic Currents HAVE STALLED, locking this Heat Dome over North #America, and Coastal States are planning on what to do, as there is major prediction of a massive marine die off over the next 3 months, making Coastal Waters and Beaches a Smelly BioHazard zone, your local #Meteorologists will not be reporting on this as they are clueless as to what is happening, all models they use have missed this, and there is a huge uproar in the #Weather community, as is with all #Environmentalists who have been Screaming for years about the dangers of the coming now here #Climate, buckle up buttercup, you thought #Covid killed people, wait till you see what heat does;

You can encourage my continued useless #poetry, creativity and expression of self, #commentary, random thoughts, #philosophy and ideas, and by doing so your helping to feed, house and clothe a #disabled man living in #poverty, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

#Meteorologists are subjected to an alarming rise in hate speech. Messages on #socialmedia denigrate #researchers’ work and included personal attacks directed at professionals who work to share correct & verified scientific information: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... #science #communication

#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.

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.

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

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.

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

Meteorologists, Please Stop the Fearmongering

Tiresome. Professional editors, like professional curators, are most effective when they offer teaching moments that build audience critical thinking skills. But the goals of conspiracy creators are fearful minds, not rational cognitive agents of our own destinies. #meteorologists #misinformation #criticalthinking

👀 JHC. As Hurricane #Milton approaches Florida #meteorologists are staying awake for days at a time trying to get vital, life-saving information out to the folks who will be affected. That’s their job. But this year, several of them tell Rolling Stone, they’re increasingly having to take time out to quell the nonstop flow of #misinformation during a particularly traumatic #hurricane season. And some of them are doing it while being personally threatened.

Different quadrants in a #hurricane have different risks. #Meteorologists use this as a guide to know where the worst damage is possible based on the movement of the storm. #Milton #HurricaneMilton #Florida #weather #science

Hurricane Helene drone flight breaks records for data collection and flying time

As #Hurricane Helene developed in the Gulf of Mexico, #NOAA researchers gathered critical data from the sea and sky to better understand tropical #cyclones and support the National Hurricane Center forecasters. This real time data gives #meteorologists a clearer picture of the storm environment and structure, reducing forecast uncertainty.

#Meteorologists Puzzled By #BasketballSized #Hail

I wonder how many #meteorologists are going to get hate emails and angry phone calls from people because it's cloudy on #eclipse day.

Sadly, I think that number is greater than zero.

GROUNDHOG DAY FUN:

So in honor of the one day of the year where us #meteorologists and trained weather #forecasters are pushed aside so some critter can see if there's a need for #sunglasses today, here's my take on how well one #Wisconsin #groundhog has done for the #Northland the past decade.

Overall, I'm fine with seeing some #folklore like this live in with predicting the #weather, whether it's right or not.
