👀 Ship 42 is out of Megabay 2 and headed for the pad.
Look closely at those fresh white numbers... and right above them: "DON'T PANIC." A little Hitchhiker's Guide wink before Friday's double-catch attempt. 🚀
26 Starlink V3s are on board. Liftoff is NET Friday at 4:45 PM CT. Watch it live with us on MaxQ Live.

More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.

AMAZING news as Missouri officials have just approved funding for a new radar unit in southeastern Missouri!
This new SEMO radar will be in Van Buren, directly in the radar hole you see in red near the bootheel.
This will massively help in severe weather monitoring! #MOwx

GOOD NEWS: National Weather Service morning balloon launches have officially returned to normal levels while offices across the US have filled various vacancies. It seems like after an incredibly stressful and tumultuous 20 months in our industry, things are moving back to normal.
It’s important to remember though that the fight must continue. The United States of America has long been the global leader in weather infrastructure. We must do everything to ensure NOAA, and by extension the NWS, is fully and properly funded to maintain this status and continue to innovate. Accurate and timely forecasts save lives and keep money in your pockets.

It’s been in development a long time, but finally, “threats-in-motion” likely to come in 2028 as new software is implemented across the National Weather Service. Severe storm warnings will move with the storm. @nwas

Ever wanted to see what a perfect forecast would have been for a tornado/wind/hail outbreak? Or how it ranks against other outbreaks? Or how years stack up spatially? Well now you can on hindcastlab.com! I also offer a super customizable viewer for Google Deepmind's tropical cyclone models!
This has been a project I've been working on for years and now its finally polished enough to be a public website! I hope you all enjoy! Any questions/concerns/bugs, please feel free to send me a message here on twitter.

The techniques devs (mostly Tim) have worked tirelessly on this, on a short deadline. This is SPC's own ensemble of best-performing REFS/HRRR members. I think the pan and zoom is really cool:
