Thank you so much @ametsoc!

Our first experiment with a video explanation of the activity was well received, so here is an update as we continue into the overnight to morning hours. We will attempt another update later on Wednesday if warranted. Stay informed at spaceweather.gov

[CURSO CERTIFICADO] Sé parte de la comunidad que se prrpara para los huracanes extremos. Las meteorólogas Idamis Rodríguez, @FernandaRamosWx y @adamonzon unen sus conocimientos y experiencias entre Puerto Rico y EEUU para ofrecer por primera vez el curso de “Huracanes Extremos” en español. Tres generaciones de meteorólogas educando ante los desafíos de la naturaleza. Este, y otros cursos de resiliencia a las amenazas naturales, los puedes acceder aquí. ecoexploratorio.org/eri/cursos/

With Hurricane #Erin having the potential to rapidly intensify, we thought this would be a good time to explain what rapid intensification (RI) is! NHC Senior Hurricane Specialist Philippe Papin explains RI, and how forecasts for RI have gradually been getting more accurate during the past decade or so.

#Erin is now a #hurricane - the first of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. The average first Atlantic hurricane formation is 11 August. Since 2010, four Atlantic seasons have had their 1st hurricane after 15 August: 2011, 2013, 2015, 2022.

Going into the severe weather and hurricane season, this cannot be good. The Commerce Department has laid off hundreds of NOAA employees, many with specialized skills who work at one of the world's top climate science and weather forecasting agencies. Why it matters: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is responsible for providing weather watches and warnings, monitoring and studying Earth's climate, as well as operating weather satellites and protecting marine life. The layoffs of probationary employees that began Thursday hit soon after cuts at the behest of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency occurred at other climate and environment agencies. The big picture: NOAA's missions require staff to work around the clock to monitor dangerous weather, earthquakes that could cause tsunamis, and other hazards. In recent weeks, NOAA's National Weather Service has issued warnings for deadly flooding in Kentucky, heavy snow, frigid temperatures and other hazards across the country. While NOAA had pushed for public safety exemptions from the layoffs for NWS meteorologists, not all were granted. A congressional aide reported hearing that "some" at NWS were spared but "not many."

Mi corazón está con todos mis compañeros de agencias federales que recibieron la lamentable noticia esta semana. Es una situación muy dura y les aseguro que mejores cosas vendrán porque todos ustedes son increíbles en lo que hacen. Que jamás esta situación los defina. Abrazos 🫂

Las lluvias no se irán de Houston durante este martes: La meteoróloga @FernandaRamosWx nos habla del riesgo de inundación #VigilantesDelTiempo #ElTiempoUnivision

Happy National Weatherperson’s Day! Do you know the local meteorologists who keep us informed on weather conditions? A big thank you to them for sharing their expertise and helping us stay weather-ready! ☂️☀️⛈️ @NWSHouston

@FernandaRamosWx contó a EL VOCERO su camino para llegar a ser una meteoróloga en la diáspora. elvocero.com/escenario/vide…

@KristenCurrieTV So, there was quite the spread of totals around Houston: - Final at IAH (which is the official site for Houston) was 1.2" which does not break into the top 3 snow events at IAH - Final at HOU was 3.0" and this is the 3rd most snow at HOU (#1 spot was 4.4" back in 1960)

6:30 AM: Snow is starting to accumulate here at our office in League City. #houwx #txwx

Sleet & snow showers have developed across the area. Temperatures are also quickly falling below freezing with temperatures as low as 25°F north of the Houston Metro. Roads will become dangerous as the temperatures fall, so please don't be on the roads unless you have to. #TXwx
