Colossal Solar Hole Unleashes Geomagnetic Storm Toward Earth
A massive coronal hole, over 1 million kilometers wide, has opened in the Sun's atmosphere, releasing a solar wind stream toward Earth, potentially causing geomagnetic storms from May 20-22 and a possible stronger storm on May 23; the cause is the current solar maximum.

NOAA to Halt Climate Disaster Cost Tracking
NOAA will stop updating its Billion-dollar Weather and Climate Disasters database beyond 2024, archiving data from 1980; this follows staff cuts and reflects the Trump administration's downplaying of climate change, hindering assessment of increasingly costly extreme weather.

NOAA's WoFS Provides Two-Hour Tornado Warning, Raising Questions About Optimal Lead Time
NOAA's new Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) provided nearly two hours of warning before an EF-3 tornado hit Carter County, Missouri in March, likely saving lives; however, research suggests that lead times beyond 30-34 minutes may reduce the sense of urgency.
