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. youtu.be/24tqUfQLzCI

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

And for an example of how it’s done right, I wrote about wildfire weather alerts and response in San Diego County, where NWS, utility officials, EMs, Cal Fire and city services in constant collaboration. OK end of 🧵.
