Blue states need to immediately pass a law directing state law enforcement officers to detain anyone performing an arrest or detention in public while masked or failing to visibly display identifying credentials, for the purpose of protecting public safety. And yes, they can do so.

Oh no! Several of the Regional Climate Centers have had their funding lapse through DOC/NOAA. These institutes are critical for connecting weather and climate data and services to local communities across the United States.

We often (rightly) see maps like these showing how good SPC convective outlooks are; let's also give some kudos to WPC for some outstanding excessive rainfall outlooks for this event. Especially impressive are the day 5 outlooks, giving advance notice of prolonged excessive rainfall and flood risk.

The area around Mobile, AL received from 5 to more than 10 inches of rain in the past 24 hours, with the highest amounts south and west of the city. Hats off to our #CoCoRaHS observers for their reports!

As the daughter of a meteorologist, seeing the gutting of NOAA is one of the most infuriating things to watch. There's literally no downside to have an organization that prevents wide-scale human (and economic!) damage.
The U.S. NWS is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. Its cost of operation is only ~$3-4/yr per taxpayer—equivalent to a single cup of coffee—and yields a truly remarkable return on investment (at least 10 to 1, and perhaps 100 to 1).
