GWC is proud to announce our partnership with the American Weather Enterprise Association (AWEA) because weather impacts literally everyone -- and it's time for an organization to advocate for the weather enterprise in a sustained, unified way. More info in thread ⬇️

If we want to respond to the risks we face due to severe weather impacts in the U.S. (& maintain our reputation as a research leader in this area), it is crucial we continue to invest in & improve the resources (e.g., data, radar infrastructure, mesonets) we all rely on in the weather enterprise.

Thank you to @wmo-global.bsky.social for the opportunity to present on our severe weather education programs (especially Spring Training!) with our partners @comet-meted.bsky.social at the Weather & Society Conference on Thursday! 🧵⬇️
