If you have been paying attention to radar this morning, you may have noticed it looks quite active even though there is little to no precipitation. Much of this radar activity is actually migrating birds! 🦅 🐤 #flwx (1/thread)

#BREAKING: @NWSGSP just confirmed a brief tornado did touch down in Charlotte this morning. They gave it a preliminary rating of EF-0 with winds of 85 mph. It was 25 yards wide and on the ground for 1.5 miles. This is some of the damage from that tornado on Atando Ave. @wsoctv

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences. Read the AMS statement, in partnership w/@nwas: bit.ly/4cz2RtC

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) have already become “more frequent, larger, and moister” during 1980-2023 according to a study by Lexi Henny & Kyu-Myong Kim in #AMSJCli. Extreme ARs are becoming more intense at an even faster rate. Read more: bit.ly/4c9JqHR

Today in history 🗓 7 March 1997: The worst was finally over for states hit hard by the flooding Ohio River. The river crested at 15 ft above flood stage on the 6th at Louisville, Kentucky, after topping out at nearly 13 ft at Cincinnati, OH and more than 7 ft at Huntington, WV.

WORD OF THE WEEK 💬 Circumzenithal arc — An arc centered on the zenith and found at least 46° above the sun (or moon). Read more about circumzenithal arc through the AMS Glossary: bit.ly/4h3xPuF Photo credit 📷: Lourdes B. Avilés
The 22° halo was much fainter but a brightly colored circumzenithal arc (very high in the sky and circling the zenith) was clearly visible. Photo by Lourdes B. Avilés.
