HUGE: Rob Sand has won the race for governor of Iowa, defeating Republican Zach Lahn.
When he is sworn in, Governor-elect Sand will be the first Democratic governor in 16 years—and he’ll be a champion for all Iowans.
Congratulations!

This is a crime. I picked up a new camera and was finally able to use it today after waiting for all the necessary bits and pieces to arrive! But of course I had to work. Then, there was tornadoes near my town.. like what. Nothing ever seems to work out. Anyways that’s my rant.

The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.
We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.
Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.
This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.
I got to go to the @KWWL studio this week for a field trip for my Earth & Space science class. I got to see their morning meteorologist Brandon Libby and seen how he forecasts. I even got to mess around in front of the Greenscreen! This was definitely an eye-opening experience.
