Probabilistic WSSI, probability of major overall impacts zoomed in on the northeast. Values above 50% stretch from southern NJ into Boston, with the highest values over Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts.

Probabilistic WSSI probabilities of major impacts, zoomed in over NWS Boston's forecast area. A sharp gradient in probability is seen from northwest to southeast.

A blizzard is forecast across most of the I-95 corridor north of Philly tomorrow into Monday. Major to extreme impacts looking increasingly likely. WPC's probabilistic WSSI has some of the higher values I can remember!

You could've asked your forecaster friends ☹️

But yes this was just a bad grid. It should be fixed now!

Reports indicate that the Trump administration may attempt to slash billions from NOAA’s budget — including cutting research that forecasts natural disasters like wildfires & droughts.

The Commerce Department must reverse these plans! Read our letter with Senator Bennet & Senator Hickenlooper 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

‘Trainwreck’ of NOAA funding cuts could derail Colorado research on wildfires, earthquakes and storms At a lab in Fort Collins, scientists are researching how to incorporate artificial intelligence into the forecasting of hurricane paths and how to better predict storms’ impact on wildfires. …

“If you want to call it a trainwreck, you can."

Colorado research into weather forecasting, drought and wildfires is at risk of grinding to a halt if planned budget cuts by President Trump’s administration come to fruition and eliminate funding crucial to the Colorado labs’ existence.

NOAA Cuts Leave Wind Chimes As Sole Predictor Of Approaching Hurricanes

The U.S. NWS is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. Its cost of operation is only ~$3-4/yr per taxpayer—equivalent to a single cup of coffee—and yields a truly remarkable return on investment (at least 10 to 1, and perhaps 100 to 1).
