Psst: Notice where this wind/weather data is coming from. It's coming from NCAR.
One tiny blip of the kajillion things NCAR does to improve/advance weather forecasting.

The wind has arrived...
60+ mph gusts at the Mesa Lab in Boulder, all kicking up within the last half hour.
This moves into the rest of the metro area in the next few hours.

The @NCAR_Science is quite literally our global mothership.
Nearly everyone who researches climate and weather - not only in the US, but around the world - has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) supports the scientists who fly into hurricanes, the meteorologists who develop new radar technology, the physicists who envision and code new weather models, and yes - the largest community climate model in the world. That too.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

“[Watch Duty] was founded with the belief that, given the right environment and leadership, with no money changing hands, we can take idle human potential and make it kinetic,” said @johnclarkemills.

Time for my annual end of year tweetstorm on Colorado climate action! Been a big year – huge federal grants, groundbreaking housing/land use legislation, new $ for transit, nation-leading utility clean heat programs, all the way to CO taking first place for EV market share. (0/n)

As Santa makes his way to the International Space Station, we want to congratulate another fast-moving object in space: @NASA 's #ParkerSolarProbe, who earlier today made the closest flyby of the Sun in history while soaring at 430,000 mph! #NORADTracksSanta #NTS24 @JHUAPL

New @WWAttribution study finds #Milton’s rainfall was made 20-30% more intense by Climate Change, the intensity of rain made 2X more likely. The storm made 10% more intense and storms of a similar intensity now have a 40% greater likelihood of occurring. worldweatherattribution.org/…

To everyone in the path of #HurricaneMilton, we join with @fema to urge you to LEAVE NOW if you are in an evacuation zone; there will not be time to leave on Wednesday.

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor: “I can say this without any dramatization whatsoever: If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die.”

I talked to North Carolina state Rep. Lindsey Prather, who represents part of Buncombe County -- a devastated region where Asheville is based -- about whether misinformation is affecting the disaster recovery efforts there.
(Short answer: it is.) huffpost.com/entry/hurricane…

🚁 Sam checks in from the skies over southwest Florida while en route to pick up meals from a WCK partner restaurant in Ashville. Our Relief Teams are hard at work, providing meals across Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina to support families affected by Hurricane Helene. #ChefsForFlorida

Asheville is over 2,000 feet above sea level, and ~300 miles away from the nearest coastline. No place is safe from climate change.
We all suffer the consequences. We must all take action. We are all in this together.
Kit Seeborg retweeted
When you think of hurricanes, we usually think about the destruction they cause near the coastlines. Asheville is far, far inland, and these are the scenes from #TropicalStormHelene #HurricaneHelene xitter.cf/JordanKudisch/status/1…
