ALT Spire's AI-WX forecast initialized on October 6, 2024, at 12z depicts a range of track scenarios for Hurricane Milton, which made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane near Siesta Key, Florida, on October 9, 2024. Milton's actual track is shown with a blue line.

Hi all. Breaking my Twitter silence to make a statement on behalf of myself here. NOAA, the parent agency of the @NWS indiscriminately fired a number of employees yesterday. A thread of comments & advice for those fired. 1/18
Morning all! I've been encouraged by the outpouring of support for all of us in NWS/NOAA.
I wanted to specify a detail that I think is relevant from some conversations I've had. Most of us (at least at EMC) who were terminated were officially "probationary" because we are new federal employees, but have been working for NOAA in some capacity (usually on the contract or university side) for 5, 10, 15 years. So we're the group that has the unique combination of early career motivation/drive but also enough expertise to be quickly effective as we are promoted into new roles. This is not the group you'd get rid of if you wanted to make an organization more efficient - it's what you'd do if you want to destroy an organization. I'd like to assume the best and hope that's unintentional. Hopefully the value of what we do can be communicated effectively.

Hurricane #Milton is a Cat 4 with max sustained winds of 130 mph and a growing wind field.
⚠️ 10 tornado reports from Lee, Martin, Okeechobee, Highlands & St. Lucie counties. Several tornado warnings remain in effect.
Conditions will worsen this afternoon, and now is the time to stay sheltered, away from windows. Be sure to have a means to receive all warnings.

🚀 Seven @SpireGlobal LEMUR satellites were launched on today's @SpaceX Transporter-11 mission. What does that mean?
These multi-payload satellites will help with applications for remote device monitoring, soil moisture analysis, and marine traffic monitoring.

78 hours before landfall, @SpireWxClimate Hi Resolution Model had Hurricane Beryl within 25 miles (40km) of where it finally came ashore in Texas the following Monday. Meteorologist colleagues, you can have a free trial of this Model. It is the only one in the world that is down to a 3km resolution, goes hour by hour, out of SIX days. Send me a DM and I’ll get you set up!

🚀🌍 Spire's Luis Vela Vela spoke at Supercomputing Day 2024 during the annual @Nexus2050Lux Tech Pulse event!
Luis highlighted how supercomputers are revolutionizing our approach to weather prediction:
🔹 Big Data: @SpireGlobal's GNSS-RO satellites generate massive data, needing supercomputers for processing.
🔹 Speed & Accuracy: "A 1-hour forecast that takes 1 hour to compute is useless." Supercomputers ensure timely and precise forecasts.
🔹 AI Revolution: While AI models can run on minimal computational resources -- even on a laptop -- training and fine-tuning these models requires supercomputers.
We're proud to be at the forefront of weather prediction and climate resilience, leveraging cutting-edge space technology and proprietary data to make a difference. Learn more: spire.com/weather-climate/

JVF shares the @SpireWxClimate 3km high res which has been eerily consistent with storm placement run after run. Space-derived forecasts are pretty neat right up until they’re predicting this to occur in my backyard.

WOW! This is a look at our @SpireWxClimate High Resolution Weather Model (3km, Hr by Hr, out to 6 days) for the US with RH and Composite Forecast Radar on it. This is why we are saying you cannot play with todays weather, even being a holiday weekend if you live in these regions:

The dryline looks potentially rowdy on Thurs this week for severe wx. SPC issued (h/t @WxLiz) a special update to their D3 forecast due to increased confidence in hail and tornado potential. Our @SpireWxClimate high res model certainly agrees with the coverage area!
