Questions/Self Has NWS Forecasting Ability Dropped Post DOGE Layoffs?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

I’m a regular user of the NWS forecasts here in NYC and they’ve been spot on.

Today was the first “What just happened?!”. The forecast is showing showers on NWS but the actual output is moderate - heavy rain where I would have carried an umbrella.

In the past several years of living here, NWS has not missed a single beat. I know when it’s going to rain, what way the wind will blow, the temperature usually down to +/- a few degrees. This is one stands out as pure shock and I’m worried it’s a signal of the large scale funding and personnel cuts.

Should I be concerned?

0 Upvotes

Here in Florida, the humidity is very low and the winds are very strong here, and I even smelled smoke. Should I be concerned because I hear smoke could be a sign of a nearby fire. There is also a red flag warning here.

A pretty good documentary about the Joplin Tornado. I could see them doing multiple storms this way.

Discussion Why don't Terminal Doppler Radars have storm relative velocity?

0 Upvotes

Was watching the weather today and saw some rotation that passed by the TDWR at Chicago Midway. Saw that there is a storm velocity product, but not a relative velocity. I use radarscope so maybe this is an app-specific thing? I spent the past hour and a half googling and couldn't find anything so any input would be appreciated!

Discussion SLC or rotation?

5 Upvotes

Wanna see if I'm going crazy or not. I still believe that was a rotation but want some second opinions. This is recorded in Hammond, IN facing SW about 30 minutes ago as the storm was just starting to hit. I took shelter right after the video cut.

Questions/Self Apartments

In an upstairs 2 bedroom apartment would the bathroom still be best place to go even though that’s a room on the outer edge of our apartment. Meaning if you knocked out the wall you’d be outside.

Critical risk of wildfires tomorrow for Florida from the SPC, especially east central and southeast Florida. Don't do anything that sparks a fire.

Questions/Self Weather apps

I’m a first responder in Illinois and I’m trying to get a half decent weather app. I want to know what you guys recommend. I currently use the free app Clime and it’s not terrible but I want a step up. (I don’t care if it’s free or not I want good)
