Radar Next

Since I believe you're the person that was working on the future NWS radar topic thing, I'm notifying you that the PDF for the Radar Next program (https://www.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-01/NOAA_Radar_Next-Radar_Next_Program_242901.pdf) has been nuked by the orange man.

Just came here to say that, seems to be a fading project. EF5 17:41, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like they started an audit into the program last December but the "executive order" part makes it less ambiguous who among us did this. Departure– (talk) 18:13, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
NEXRAD has served us well the past 38 years now, so this probably won't be his most unpopular policy (assuming NEXRAD itself doesn't get blamed for controlling the weather again like it was during Milton). I'm hoping Warn-on-Forecast is also on the right side of the science bans, because it's the most promising way of preventing severe weather deaths. Now, I wouldn't put it past him to cut the fire weather parts or even cutting fire weather out of NOAA's pervue per both Project 2025 and the bi-partisan reorganization that had been proposed for years to spin off NOAA from the US department of commerce, because doing so would negatively impact California above any other place, the poster child for everything Trump dislikes about the country. Time will tell. I just want to see his administration's response to the next December 10th or April 27th. There really weren't that many outbreaks under his first administration, barring Dallas, Dayton and Nashville, which to me feel one and the same.

Wikipedia:Notability of individual tornadoes

Hi Departure! I was wondering if you could take a look over Wikipedia:Notability of individual tornadoes (this one's the policy agreed on at the RfC) and see if it's neutral and formatted well? It seems to cover everything on the table we agreed on, but it's harder than I thought to remain neutral. Thanks! As predicted, 2011 Joplin tornado did in fact get a pageview spike. :) — EF5 18:27, 19 February 2025 (UTC) [reply]
