#BREAKING: @NWSGSP just confirmed a brief tornado did touch down in Charlotte this morning. They gave it a preliminary rating of EF-0 with winds of 85 mph. It was 25 yards wide and on the ground for 1.5 miles. This is some of the damage from that tornado on Atando Ave. @wsoctv

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences.

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) have already become “more frequent, larger, and moister” during 1980-2023 according to a study by Lexi Henny & Kyu-Myong Kim in #AMSJCli. Extreme ARs are becoming more intense at an even faster rate.

What does the future of weather radar hold? NSSL has been hard at work developing the next gen.
🌩️ Faster updates
🌩️ Flexibility and adaptability
Phased array radar is as a potential paradigm-shift solution for the future of weather radar.
