It's exciting to see so many robust discussions about NOAA's new RRFS model. To help communicate what it is, how it works, and its future, GSL developed a brand-new webpage, just launched today. I hope that gsl.noaa.gov/rrfs will be a helpful resource for years to come

N. ops🔥: Cured grasses remain the main fire spread concern through Monday, especially across the Sac Valley & Diablo-Santa Cruz Mountains. Gusty winds + low RHs will create elevated fire danger, while ERCs and Burning Index values "surge well above seasonal averages" #cawx

The Great Basin goes PL2.

Outstanding leadership from National Fire Chief Fennessy! 🇺🇸🔥

V1.4.34 is now live for both iOS and Android! Lots of updates and new features. More CPC products added, improved SPC outlook info on the cards, critical alerts added, mesoscale discussions can be added as cards on the Home Screen and pro users can receive push notifications when one is issued and lots more!

Prepped and ready for initial attack ✔️ The Great Basin Smokejumpers have spent the spring training, conducting refresher jumps, and preparing for the increase in fire activity ahead. Recently, our Director, Chief Brian Fennessy, spent time with the crew to get a firsthand look at their operations, training, and readiness for the season ahead. From packing parachutes to jump prep, these firefighters continue to sharpen the skills needed to respond when called.

Red Flag Warning conditions forecast today across much of the United States.

Today marks 8 years as a meteorologist at the National Weather Service! When I moved to State College almost a decade ago, I certainly didn't expect I'd put down roots in Happy Valley, but it has been a rich journey - and my time at the NWS has been a huge part of it. 1/

Southwest Incident Management Team 1 Dispatched To The Seven Cabins Fire After Medical Transport Aircraft Crashes. Some horrible news out of the Southwest. thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/p/southwest-in…

@dubsinfive nope

i am forgettable oomf

Good thing I'm not a boater or beach person. It does not look too fun this weekend.

Potentially busy #FireWx weekend for #SoCal. Fine fuels will dry out quickly and LFMs continue to trend lower (1-1.5 months ahead of normal).

The future of the fire service is bright. 🔥 CAL FIRE partnered with the Torlakson Whole Child Institute to welcome students from Magnolia Intermediate School to the Ione Training Center. These middle schoolers got hands-on experience in: ➡ Fire Technology ➡ Emergency Dispatch ➡ Building Trades ➡ Natural Resource Management We’re giving the next generation a taste of an incredible career protecting California. #CALFIRE #TWCI #IoneTrainingCenter #FutureHeroes #JoinCALFIRE

"Beds Are Burning" is a powerful protest anthem about returning land to Australia’s Indigenous peoples, especially the Pintupi. In 1986 Midnight Oil traveled through the Outback playing in remote Aboriginal communities and was deeply affected by the terrible living conditions and forced displacement they saw. In 2000, during the Sydney Olympics closing ceremony, Midnight Oil walked on stage wearing black suits with the word “SORRY” printed across them (without IOC permission) as a direct protest against the government that refused to apologize to the “Stolen Generations”. Peter Garrett has always used the band as a strong political platform.

We want to hear from you! The National Weather Service is planning to modernize its Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) network by harnessing new technology, optimizing observation sites and leveraging high-quality commercial data.

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time.... In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day. Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys. My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on. We didn't win. 19 consecutive losing seasons. 2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive. After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over. "My mom wants to talk to you." We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons. She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up. Roberto Jr. translated. "My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy." She was staring right at me. Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth: "I promise you, Vera. That won't happen." Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it." I said, "I hope I can keep it too." I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it. The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20. On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field. And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life. The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug. Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them. @Pirates
