The most embarrassing thing I’ve seen @NOAA do in my 35 years in the field. @NWSBirmingham was spot on, and their forecast should be celebrated. #ShameOnNOAA

- For every tweet using the words "historic" "memorable" "epic" "all-time" "unreal" etc. Remember that today's @TheMasters @PGATour #MastersSunday #Masters #TigerWoods #GreenJacket was ONLY made possible by the SCIENCE OF METEOROLOGY. #WeatherReadyNation
- Don't know who @NWSNorman had the foresight to launch an 03Z balloon, but that's Commerce Bronze Medal worthy! #okwx #FlipTheLid
- I can happily report that @ZooAmpOKC has reached out for assistance regarding weather decision triggers and monitoring. This is a fabulous development for the safe hosting of outdoor events in the heart of tornado alley. #eventsafety4all #okwx
- Hey @weatherchannel is it really necessary to tempt fate with Paul on a rocking dock over incoming waves in Morehead City, NC? Let’s stop talking about having a safe place to go .. and show your viewers what one looks like? #WeatherReadyNation
- It’s been an absolute honor & privilege to provide weather support for 62 games and countless more practices full of cold, heat, rain, lightning, tornadoes, and one gorgeous perfect evening for these amazing young ladies. Congratulations 2023 National Champs. @OU_Softball #wcws
- Unfortunately, Santa’s meteorologist struggles with frontal placement... given the isobaric pattern on this map. #ThatsADollarProof that #Santa doesn’t use weather apps. He relies on North Pole meteorologists and old school DIFAX charts for his forecast. Sometimes the "old" ways are better. #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer #INwx #MOwx #ILwx
- Please don’t forget that unpaid @NWS employees are working hard to issue tornado watches and warnings tonight to keep Oklahomans safe while severe weather threatens. #ThankYouNWSReplying to @SenatorLankfordOnce the government reopens those conversations can and will speed up. But it is imperative that Congress comes together to find solutions in a way that doesn’t jeopardize military, children’s healthcare, and important gov’t functions.
