@joeroganhq Confident language doesn't ensure objectivity in science... in fact it shows the opposite! We deal in probabilities... not absolutes like ‘virtually impossible.’ You can’t call something ‘virtually impossible’ in a system as complex as Earth’s climate!

"Climate scientists have said that this heat wave that they're experiencing at the minute in the United States would have been virtually impossible without human-induced climate change."

@kapboy59 @ChrisMartzWX Is this supposed to be a rebuttal to @ChrisMartzWX’s tweet? Thanks for showing your very deep knowledge on the subject of climate science. I’m tempted to bookmark this.

@ChrisMartzWX Because nobody gives a shit about how cold it is in Vostok, Antarctica - population 15 scientists.

Vostok, Antarctica bottomed out at −76.4°C (−105.5°F) sometime between 12:00 UTC yesterday and 00:00 this morning. 🇦🇶 If confirmed, this sets a new continental and worldwide record low temperature for March. 🌡️🏆 But you won't hear a peep about it in the press.

What a morning! 🏄‍♂️

Caught some super fun northeast Florida sliders this morning.

@ABC You know what the real problem is? Reducing complex, multi-variable human behavior into a clean, deterministic headline. Reality is far more nuanced. This is just more hyped-up doom and gloom.

As global temperatures rise, people are becoming less physically active, and this shift could lead to hundreds of thousands of additional premature deaths worldwide in the coming decades, a new study finds. abcnews.link/CEGdAW9

@TinyTigerXO @SNHWx UNBELIEVABLE! This is exactly the problem. Not just what’s said… but how they say it! Absolute statements, talking down to people, and no room for accountability. This builds ZERO trust.

@SNHWx @EdRussoWX Oh they kept going in the comments. 😅

A popular weather page posted this ahead of yesterday’s severe threat. Completely reckless and irresponsible. This creates unnecessary fear, not preparedness. We as meteorologists / science-communicators are losing the battle to these toxic pages.

@DavidCorrentect Of course they did. But they continue to gaslight people who were criticizing the original post. There is ZERO accountability with these pages.

@EdRussoWX It's now deleted

@P_SimmsWX Easy as 1+1=2

@EdRussoWX I didn't have to think much to know what page posted this.

@SNHWx Of course they did. They contradict themselves all the time because they don’t understand the gravity of what they’re saying.

@EdRussoWX And then later made a post telling people not to panic 🙃

In most situations, it should take no longer than 20 seconds to reach your shelter when a warning is issued. Have a plan for those w/ limited mobility, & crate pets in your shelter BEFORE a warning is issued. These two situations are often overlooked... can't stress that enough.

Some messy/disorganized clusters already across VA could reduce degree of instability for the afternoon round which is good. Latest trends are certainly moving in the right direction of a potentially more limited severe threat. Still need to remain weather aware today.

Tomorrow’s setup for central PA doesn’t need tons of sun. Strong dynamics and shear mean storms can rapidly destabilize even with limited heating. Tornadoes are possible. The main question is storm mode… if storms are messy/disorganized early, that could temper overall threat.

A 45% severe wind probability area in Central PA, especially at Day 2, is very rare. This speaks to the level of confidence in widespread damaging wind gusts in tomorrow’s severe thunderstorm setup. 60% probabilities extend just to our south into central MD.

Approach into Dulles Airport. The burbs of DC definitely got a solid accumulation of anafrontal snow. RARE. #vawx #mdwx

We tracked a rotating wall cloud, the parent cloud of a tornado, live on the air last night using our tower cam in Harrisburg. By pure luck, we had a perfect view of it. Thankfully, there were no reports of damage or injuries. #pawx

BIG WALL CLOUD looking at the TOR WARNING near Harrisburg @NWSStateCollege @EdRussoWX

Supercell moving through Perry County right now with some rotation. Dauphin County including Harrisburg needs to keep an eye on this storm.

@P_SimmsWX It’s cycling again and trying so hard to produce.

Watching a supercell in Central PA that is trying to intensify. It could get Tornado Warned.

Damaging wind gusts will be the main threat today in any severe t'storm. If enough sunshine develops, isolated tornadoes are possible. More often than not tho, severe weather setups in Central PA are muted by clouds/rain earlier in the day... exactly what we're seeing right now.
