WEEKEND WEATHER AND CUTS TO NCAR

A powerful and rapidly intensifying low-pressure system currently over the northern Plains is set to race eastward through the Great Lakes tonight and into Friday, bringing a significant and potentially dangerous weather event across the region. As the storm deepens, heavy snow will develop north of the low’s track, impacting parts of the Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes where snowfall totals of 6 to 12 inches or more are expected. Meanwhile, developments in the atmospheric science community are drawing attention after reports surfaced that federal officials are considering major changes to the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), one of the world’s leading climate and weather research institutions. Officials indicated the agency’s work may be refocused toward seasonal forecasting, severe storms, and space weather while exploring new management options for key facilities such as its supercomputer and research aircraft.
