Excited to moderate this webinar about the meteorology behind the film PRESSURE! The panelists will include weather historian and @ColbyCollege professor emeritus Jim Fleming, @RMetS fellow Jim Galvin, former @metoffice chief forecaster Martin Young, and filmmaker Anthony Maras!

Joanne Simpson became the first woman in the U.S. to earn a Ph.D. in meteorology in 1949. Her pioneering research on clouds, hurricanes, tropical convection, and satellite meteorology helped transform atmospheric science. #NationalMeteorologistsDay 🌩️ #Meteorology #WomenInSTEM

📅 Celebrating #NationalMeteorologistsDay🌪️ After Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Ted Fujita studied patterns of destruction left behind by catastrophe. He later conducted groundbreaking research into tornadoes, downbursts, and severe storm damage. #Meteorology #SevereWeather #Tornado

Happy National Meteorologists Day! ⛅️

Today is National Meteorologists Day. Embrace the Science. Honor the Experts. #NationalMeteorologistsDay

@MissAshes92 @HeatwaveKGNS National Meteorologists Day is intended to recognize meteorologists across all sectors—broadcast, operational, research and academia. While many professions contribute to public safety, this observance specifically honors the expertise and contributions of degreed meteorologists.

@seankpotter @HeatwaveKGNS Yeah I am not sure why there is now two days to celebrate when we could celebrate an entire enterprise working together to conduct the same mission - save lives. Today is the first I have heard of it. Who is leading this?

In a guest post, Sean Potter (@seankpotter) proposes making May 9th National Meteorologists Day—a day to recognize meteorologists for their critical work that protects lives, property, infrastructure, & entire sectors of the national economy. Learn more: bit.ly/4dBEY5R

@HeatwaveKGNS Weatherperson's Day has become the de facto day of observance for our field. It's celebrated because that's all there's been... up until now. With the majority of TV weathercasters having a degree in meteorology, the hope is they'll want to celebrate Naional Meteorologists Day.

@ametsoc @seankpotter May be a difficult want, however as Weather Person’s Day has traction in many TV markets, and it might be awkward to explain the difference between a “weather person” and a meteorologist. It would be an opportunity to let folks know that 92% of meteorologists are not on TV!

Thanks to fellow meteorologists @GraceyWeather and @KerrinJeromin for promoting National Meteorologists Day (May 9) in their Weekly Weather Brief! Check it out starting at 8:00 into the video: youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Spqo… #NationalMeteorologistsDay

From public safety to agriculture, aviation, energy, shipping, business, and everyday life—meteorologists help society make informed decisions every day. Behind every forecast is a meteorologist. Celebrate National Meteorologists Day on May 9. #NationalMeteorologistsDay

A perspective piece I wrote for @ametsoc on National Meteorologists Day and why it's needed... headlines.ametsoc.org/2026/05/08/its…

During WWII, women stepped into Weather Bureau roles as men left for military service. Pioneers like Virginia Tredinnick helped open doors for future generations of atmospheric scientists. nationalmeteorologistsday.com #NationalMeteorologistsDay 🌩️ #WomenInSTEM #Meteorology #Weather

Tomorrow is National Meteorologists Day. Take a moment to recognize the scientists behind the forecast. nationalmeteorologistsday.com #NationalMeteorologistsDay

Pioneers like William Hallet Greene helped break barriers in meteorology—but there’s still more progress to be made. May 9 is National Meteorologists Day—a day to celebrate the scientists behind the forecast and the ongoing effort to build a stronger, more inclusive future.

Meteorologists work in: aviation • research • military • emergency management • and more Not just on TV. nationalmeteorologistsday.com #NationalMeteorologistsDay

May 9 marks the birthday of James Pollard Espy—America’s first official meteorologist. nationalmeteorologistsday.com #NationalMeteorologistsDay

Accurate forecasts save lives. That’s the job. #NationalMeteorologistsDay

Maybe meteorologists weren’t on the set of Star Wars—but if they were, they’d be deciding when filming happens. From Hoth-like blizzards to Tatooine-style dust storms, they don’t rely on the Force—they rely on science. May 4 → #StarWarsDay May 9 → #NationalMeteorologistsDay

Forecasting = physics + data + modeling. Not guesswork. #NationalMeteorologistsDay
