Our mission is to provide weather, water, and climate data, forecasts, and warnings to protect life and property. And to defend democracy. Not an official NWS account, but close enough to know what's going on.

My name is Hunter Reeves and I am no longer working for the National Weather Service. I resigned over a month ago. This video explains more. I'll be posting to this channel and leaving this account as an archive.

It's happening. And civility isn't going to cut it anymore. Decorum be damned. The rebellion against the Empire had to defend themselves, and so do we. America has had to defend itself against tyranny before. We'll do it again. #try [contains quote post or other embedded content]13 Jun 2025 01:15 +0000at://did:plc:bchiqagfvpu2uzqqcsqehesh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrhb6sbjl22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/altnws.bsky.social/post/3lrdukz3ht22l"It is fake news and inappropriate to suggest a single meteorologist or hydrologist was fired." Tell that to the people who were illegally fired then, Howard Lutnick. "Bipartisan effort."

It is so hard to find time to get on here. Please know we are still fighting, we're still here.

This is a common fallacy that the current regime 100% believes in. If we don't keep track of all the billion dollar weather disasters, they'll just stop right? No. This does hurt research that goes into climate science though. And that is terrifying. https://www.local10.com/news/national/2025/05/08/us-retires-database-tracking-billions-of-dollars-of-climate-change-fueled-weather-damage/09 May 2025 00:33 +0000at://did:plc:bchiqagfvpu2uzqqcsqehesh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lop6iutyrc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/altnws.bsky.social/post/3lnxf4hcprk2eWhy I stay? Because I want to keep people informed about weather information through our PUBLICALLY funded services. Our work isn't focused on a profit motive, it's focused on keeping everyone safe from hazardous weather.

The best potential for severe weather will be in the yellow to orange highlighted areas. Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats, with a low threat for tornadoes. Stay weather aware!19 Apr 2025 15:37 +0000at://did:plc:bchiqagfvpu2uzqqcsqehesh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ln6ho5kyx22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/altnws.bsky.social/post/3ln6gcuazes27Get out there and resist if you can! We'll be on the front lines working severe weather. Keep up with your local weather forecast today if you are out and protesting. When thunder roars, go indoors. Unless that roar is thousands of people using their voice, in which case - keep going. #50501 https://www.fiftyfifty.one19 Apr 2025 15:12 +0000at://did:plc:bchiqagfvpu2uzqqcsqehesh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ln6gcuazes27https://bsky.app/profile/altnws.bsky.social/post/3ln3xcjrbdc24Due to a lapse in federal funding to NOAA from the DOC, contracts supporting several regional climate centers ended yesterday. This includes four of the six major regions, specifically the High Plains, Midwestern, Southeast, and Southern regions. Climate data is crucial to our mission.
