Doing that Climate Risk Financial Modeling thing @ First Street. Weather nerd.
I know there have been some Project 2029 memes, but what do we need to make it real?

Nice paper by Brice Coffer et al last week that moves us closer to reliable tornado prediction. They resolve issues in model datasets that previously prevented discrimination.
Also they look at how observed storm motion compares to Bunkers in tornado vs non-tornado.

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants.

More NWS tornado warning trivia. In Oct 2003, the directive for duration changed from "should be 30 to 60 minutes" to 15 to 45 minutes. Plot shows pdf 4 years before and after official change. Early (late) 70.6% (70.6%) from 30 to 60, 66.9% (62.8%) from 15 to 45.

Exploring how RTMA represents derecho events and looking at SPC performance here. Both seem pretty reasonable
