🖤 Rest in Power, Ozzy 🖤 Today we lost one of the wildest souls to ever walk this Earth. Ozzy wasn't just The Prince of Darkness, he was pure light to those of us lucky enough to meet him. A heart bigger than any stage he ever rocked. My heart goes out to Sharon and the Kids.…

According Dr. Robert Atlas the elimination of @HRD_AOML_NOAA as proposed in @NOAA's 2026 budget would result in a 20-40% decrease in hurricane forecast accuracy, costing the economy an estimated $10 billion each hurricane season. Sobering numbers on what's at stake.
The elevated wind shear over the Caribbean Sea observed thus far in June & July is a Gill response to NE Pacific & Central America convective heating anomalies. I explain why below ⬇️
The main reason for CSU's slight reduction in their Atlantic seasonal #hurricane forecast is due to strong observed and forecast Caribbean shear. Strong Caribbean shear in June-July is typically associated with reduced Atlantic hurricane activity.
