| 1639099775130775553 | If you've followed any climate coverage in recent years, there's no doubt you've heard from @Weather_West. Daniel Swain, scientist with @UCLAIoES, has become the media's favorite voice for climate news. UCLA Magazine takes a deeper dive below. https://t.co/Xi7ecx8N40 | 30 |
| 1638892930701344768 | Understanding California's crazy wet weather is made simpler by @Weather_West, who, as I write in this profile, is beginning to do for climate change what Carl Sagan did for space: taking the elitism out of science.

| 1638864989757767681 | Statistically unlikely for another such structurally unique extreme storm, but odds are not zero. And as @Weather_West reminded me yesterday, global warming will make storms capable of such extremes more likely. So keep your 👀 open (& mind for feedback for when context matters) https://t.co/D8vgLfyIvV https://t.co/2YrdqdnBE5 | 6 |
| 1638741336630394880 | @Weather_West @ReedTimmerAccu These are the types of events that continue to fascinate me about meteorology. How a low-topped supercell was able to produce a significant tornado in SoCal while the classic Plains-esque supercell on March 12 near Fresno failed to produce a tornado. https://t.co/bju99bjnMZ | 6 |
