  1. Part of what I do now: provide weather support for missions such as #HTV2. Shame it wasn't successful! http://lat.ms/nw6GhZ (LA Times)
  2. I'm at SeaTac now, about an hour from flying to Honolulu. Tomorrow I fly to Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands. Start work shortly after!
  3. @skrishna Thanks, I will! :-)
  4. If you're interested in following what I'm up to besides weather, you can follow @RebekahLaBar as I move to Kwaj where I'll be a forecaster
  5. I've been terrible in updating my blog & site for the past 2.5 months or so...hopefully I'll get back to that once things settle down a bit
  6. Is there an end in sight for the Southern/Eastern US heat? See the temperature section of the CPC website: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/
  7. Check out infrared satellite images of Typhoon Ma-On (cat. 4 hurricane) via Weather Underground: http://bit.ly/qThMZh (also has 5-day track)
  8. Truly a bittersweet day. Both sad and happy tears being shed today! 5 minutes to launch! #STS135
  9. Spaceflight meteorology group (under the NWS) showing launch/landing weather and reports for #STS135 shuttle launch: http://1.usa.gov/cZnWQv
  10. Watch preparations and the final launch of the space shuttle (if weather is good) live now on NASA TV: http://1.usa.gov/nr3wv
  11. Provided the weather is good, launch is in just over an hour. The astronauts are in and the latch is closed!
  12. So excited about the final launch of the space shuttle! Atlantis is ready for launch at 8:26 am Pacific, 10:26 am Central, 11:26 am Eastern
