The US NWS is soliciting comments on the possible use / trial of Bluesky. I plan to encourage them to also look at the fediverse and, at a minimum, use Bridgy Fed to bridge to Mastodon (hat tip to NWS Boston, which is already doing this). #NWS#NOAA#SKYWARN#USWx#MAWx

We're losing #OpenAccess to #weather #data on the #NOAA web site. But #HamRadio operators can still access it directly from the #satellites. They can even decrypt most of it with a new #OpenSource decoder. Here's how.

"In a repulsive show of cowardice and buck-passing, Texas Governor Greg Abbott went on a bizarre tangent about how asking who’s to blame for the historic flood disaster that has killed at least 111 people was for 'losers' and compared the tragedy to…a football game."

"Scott Calvert, John West, Jim Carlton, and Joe Barrett of the Wall Street Journal reported that after a deadly flood in 1987, officials in Kerr County applied for a grant to install a flood warning system, but their application was denied.

"Reporter: Why was the NWS not pinging their phones before 7? Was it a fundamental failure of the federal government’s responsibility to keep us safe? [Kristi] Noem: 'Trump is currently upgrading the technology in the NWS. We needed to renew this ancient system that has been left in place with the federal government.'”
