I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx
Map of local National Weather Service office "areas of responsibility" modified (using polygons with black outlines and red fill) to indicate where recent/expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS have resulting in understaffing so extreme that some offices can not longer operate on a 24/7 basis.

If you're in Fairbanks on Saturday and would like to revisit the cold 2025-26 winter, I'll be giving a talk at the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor Center downtown. The topic is: "How can it still be very cold in a rapidly warming Arctic." #akwx #AlaskaSky #Fairbanks #UAF @leahwrenn.bsky.social

Wildfires in Alaska through August 5 have burned only 13 percent of the 1993-2025 median and season is on track to have the lowest area burned since 1995. In the past 33 years, typically 95 percent of seasonal total has burned by this point in the season. #akwx #Wildfire #Summer2026

Glad to see the latest glacial outburst flood here in Juneau crested earlier and lower than expected! #akwx #Alaska

If you're a storymap kind of person, here's one that nicely explains what's happening & why with the glacial lake outburst flooding now underway on the Mendenhall River near Juneau. #akwx #ClimateChange #Flood #Glacier @spiraledu.bsky.social @alaska.bsky.social storymaps.arcgis.com/stor….

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Thursday. Hot in the upper Yukon River valley with low elevation high temperatures in the 80s from Whitehorse downriver to Fort Yukon. Still warm on the North Slope while still chilly on the Bering Sea coast. #akwx #weather @climatologist49.bsky.social
