We knew things were bad with the Trump cuts to the weather service, but it's even worse than we knew. I'm sitting here furious that this is being allowed to happen. Also: scared.

LAKE BREEZE AT ITS FINEST:
This is the time of the calendar year that the #lakebreeze off #LakeSuperior really starts to kick in for us here in the #Northland.
I have gotten use to the early #spring feel in the air that lasts through all of spring. It will feel much better when the natural #airconditioning is welcomed during #summer!
Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible on later today into this evening from the southern Plains into the Lower Ohio Valley, with the greatest risk expected across north-central Texas into the
ArkLaTex region. Large to very large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes are all possible, with some strong-tornado potential. #WeatherAwareDay #weather #wx #SPC #SevereWeather

KTOO: Alaska could lose a beloved climate communicator if NOAA cuts happen

That’s where Rick Thoman works. He’s a climate specialist who is known as the state’s go-to source for weather information. He hosts weekly radio spots for communities across the state and writes a blog covering timely topics like extreme weather, seasonal outlooks and ice conditions...."
