I had the honor to introduce my replacement on 9NEWS

For the first time in more than half a century, a rocket and spaceship that will carry astronauts around the Moon is rolling out to 39B. Today’s rollout is a critical step toward that mission and achieving President Trump’s vision when he first established the Artemis Program. More milestones remain, and each one matters. Next comes an extensive testing campaign to ensure the vehicle is ready to fly three Americans and one Canadian - Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy - into space than we have ever sent humans before and bring them home safely. There is still a lot work ahead before launch, and we’ll take all the time necessary until we are ready. But the rollout today was a real step towards America’s return to the Moon...and this time, we go to stay.

Today, NASA is moving the rocket out to the launch pad for the Artemis II mission. Humans are going back to the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years, and I can't wait to see it!

Some of you need to be visited by the ghost of quit emailing me so much before Christmas

President Trump is delivering on his promise of retribution against Colorado for the state's mail-in ballots and refusal to release his ally Tina Peters from prison. The Trump team says it plans to close America's foremost weather lab: NCAR. @Marshall9News reports.

Donald Trump's vengeful plan to dismantle NCAR and cut millions in federal grants is the latest attack against Colorado. I will not stand by while Trump weaponizes the federal government to punish our state.  This retribution puts lives and livelihoods at risk, and I will use every tool to fight back. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

Strong winds combined with warm and dry conditions will result in critical fire weather conditions again Friday. Conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread. Avoid outdoor burning and any activity that may produce a spark and start a wildfire. #cowx

Couple more days of high fire danger ahead. Focus today is in our northeast plains where gusts 45-65 mph are forecast. Another strong downslope wind event is expected Friday, with high fire danger. It'll be very warm and dry, with highs into the low 70's for Denver metro. #COwx

🌤️Cooler, breezy (windy in the foothills/mountains) and mostly sunny, with a high 'only' around 50° in Denver - our first <60° day in 10 days. 🌬️ Wind picks back up tonight and tomorrow morning, with 60-80 mph gusts possible in the foothills and mountains. #COwx

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, & disaster research underpinning half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, & increased resilience.

NEW: Colorado Republicans are trying to make a political issue out of Xcel's plan to cut power in extreme winds to avoid a wildfire. Their claims range from logically strained to incoherent.

@realDonaldTrump Please don’t do this. This is not a center for alarmism. The science that comes from @NCAR_Science has made the United States a leader in tracking severe weather, modeling extreme floods and even the effects of increased solar activity and how it impacts our atmosphere here on Earth. Research that comes from here benefits us all from a safety and infrastructure standpoint. And, economically, the science helps mitigate a growing number of #billiondollar #weatherdisasters

Hot mess @DENAirport. Nothing getting out, a few aborted landings, barely anything getting in. That’s what happens with 50-60 mph winds and an approaching front (and wind direction change). Expect a messy night there. #COwx

Barftacular flying tonight

91 mph gust at Rocky Flats at 1:30p #COwx

Strong winds have arrived to Boulder, CO. This is on Hwy 93 south of Boulder. Please be careful if you're driving today especially if you're in a high profile vehicle. -Freddie LD6 #COwx #Colorado @BianchiWeather
