Despite all the flooding from abundant tropical moisture to start the hurricane season, tropical systems have so far struggled to organize or hold together. The overall season-to-date ACE is the lowest we've seen since the early season shutout of 2009. ⬇️ michaelrlowry.substack.com/p/disturbance-…

I needed to read this story this morning. Thank you for sharing it.

FOLKS. These estimated savings from one small corner of @NOAA are 500 TIMES the annual budget of @HRD_AOML_NOAA and more than double NOAA's entire budget. This is a no-brainer.
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.
