3:30 PM WINDSTORM UPDATE: Winds still very strong in/near the terrain, but eastward push of strong winds didn't happen. Winds should be retreating west/uphill over the next 1-3 hours. Fire danger remains elevated through 6PM.
104 MPH is the winner so far at NCAR Mesa Lab in south Boulder! #COWX

The outpouring of scientists sharing stories about their time at NCAR or collaborations with researchers there really tells you all you need to know about how central an institution to climate and weather research it is. It feels like every scientist I know (and hundreds I don’t!) have a connection

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration.
NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday.
We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.

Prince releases his “1999” LP 43 years ago today.
Of the hit single, he said: “We were sitting around watching a [TV] special about the year 1999. .. Everyone I knew — people I thought were optimistic — were actually dreading those days. .. So I just wanted to write something that gave hope.” 🎸

Tackling challenges of subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasting—which could transform our ability to anticipate heatwaves, flooding, wildfires, and more—requires siloed scientific communities to work together, write Jadigwa Richter and Everette Joseph of @ncar-ucar.bsky.social. eos.org/opinions/sci...
Scientists Must Join Forces to Solve Forecasting’s Predictability Desert - Eos
To strengthen societal resilience to worsening natural hazards, siloed Earth system science communities must collaborate to understand conditions that favor skillful subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasts.

To the extent cultural literacy means anything anymore, Col. Kurtz attacked and destroyed a village in large part because he wanted to surf its beach, reveled in its destruction, took casualties and killed a bunch of civilians in the process. Also, Trump could have served in Vietnam but didn't.
