One key point here: the kind
of research I describe in cloudwarriorsbook.com has been successful BUT it’s now being undermined, at the cost of future forecasting improvements. Thanks @lauracmorel @MotherJones for putting a focus on this.

What will happen to US weather forecasting in coming months given NOAA/NWS cuts? I joined Alan Gerard for a conversation. If you aren’t following Alan’s newsletter balancedweather.substack.com you’re missing out on great news and perspective.

New from me in @USATODAY:
What really takes place in the 122 local forecast offices of @NWS and why more than ever it’s critical to protect that work from staff and budget cuts. #wx #wxtwitter

Bottom line: in face of extreme weather, work to be done in turning good forecasts into good outcomes, an effort that demands more fm state and local officials. It’s a key theme of cloudwarriorsbook.com so I feel distressed (but unsurprised) to see this blame-shifting in Texas
