I would like to announce that a new task force has been created to re-examine the status of every GA in the project. Many good articles have not been reviewed in quite a while (15+ years for some) and notability requirements have changed quite a bit over the years. The goal of this task force is to save as many articles as possible. Anyone not reviewing an article may jump in to help get it up to par if it does not meet the GA requirements. The process will start officially on February 1 and will continue until every article has been checked and either kept or delisted. The task force may be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/2024–25 Good Article Reassessment.

It has recently been brought to my attention by @ChessEric that there is a dispute whether or not to include fire tornadoes in “Tornadoes of YYYY” articles. They have been included before in articles such as Tornadoes of 2020 and were included in Tornadoes of 2018 before the dispute was raised by ChessEric. The dispute raised is that since most fire tornadoes do not form in the exact manner as supercell tornadoes they should not be included. The article fire tornado itself barely offers descriptions of notable fire tornadoes. Should fire tornadoes be included in “Tornadoes of YYYY” articles/split into their own section on these articles similar to the “Tornado Research” section recently added, or should an article split be made to Fire tornado such as “List of fire tornadoes”?IrishSurfer21 (talk) 02:22, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240806022200","author":"IrishSurfer21","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-IrishSurfer21-20240806022200-Concern_regarding_the_inclusion_of_fire_tornadoes_in_\u201cTornadoes_of_YYYY\u201d_art","replies":["c-ChessEric-20240806023400-IrishSurfer21-20240806022200","c-Penitentes-20240806023500-IrishSurfer21-20240806022200"]}}-->

This issue has been a while coming. Fire tornadoes are not particularly well understood, which means they defy easy classification. Some fire tornadoes have been filmed and reported on, but never surveyed; some have been surveyed and rated, but never given an NCDC entry; still others have been entered as "fire" or "wind" events instead of tornadoes. I have the beginnings of an article, including a list of confirmed fire tornadoes, at User:Penitentes/Fire tornado (draft) if that's at all helpful.
But as Eric says, many phenomena that the media calls "fire tornadoes" are just fire whirls. Fires contain rotating components at pretty much every scale, only the largest (the ones that are connected to the pyro-convective plume a wildfire generates) are actual fire tornadoes as the science understands them. — Penitentes (talk) 02:35, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240806023500","author":"Penitentes","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Penitentes-20240806023500-IrishSurfer21-20240806022200","replies":[]}}-->
I personally included fire tornadoes in the List of California tornadoes, so I think they could be included in the yearly weather article provided it was as noteworthy as other events; that is, it was deadly or particularly destructive.

For starters, no "formal" administrative-style rules have occurred. All that means is the template is not formally deprecated and is still in use. However, Rlandmann, an administrator on English Wikipedia, has begun an undertaking of reviewing and assessing all images (~1,400) that use the PD-NWS copyright template.
What we know:
Following email communications, the National Weather Service of Sioux Falls has removed their disclaimer, which has been used for the PD-NWS template for decades. This means, as far as the National Weather Service is concerned, the following statement is no longer valid:By submitting images, you understand that your image is being released into the public domain. This means that your photo or video may be downloaded, copied, and used by others. Currently, the PD-NWS template links to an archived version of the disclaimer. However, the live version of the disclaimer no longer contains that phrase.
See this deletion discussion for this point's information. NWS Paducah (1) failed to give attribution to a photographer of a tornado photograph, (2) placed the photo into the public domain without the photographer explicitly giving them permission to do so (i.e. the photo is not actually in the public domain), (3) and told users to acknowledge NWS as the source for information on the webpage. Oh, to note, this photographer is a magistrate (i.e. a judge). So, the idea of automatically trusting images without clear attribution on weather.gov are free-to-use is in question.
The Wikimedia Commons has a process known as precautionary principle, where if their is significant doubt that an image is free-to-use, it will be deleted. Note, one PD-NWS file has been deleted under the precautionary principle. The closing administrator remarks for the deletion discussion were: "Per the precautionary principle, there is "significant doubt" about the public domain status of this file (4x keep + nominator, 5x delete), so I will delete it."
Several photographs/images using the PD-NWS are currently mid-deletion discussion, all for various reasonings.
As of this message, 250 PD-NWS images have been checked out of the ~1,400.
The photograph of the 1974 Xenia tornado (File:Xenia tornado.jpg) was found to not be in the public domain. It is still free-to-use, but under a CC 2.0 license, which requires attribution. From April 2009 to August 2024, Wikipedia/Wikimedia was incorrectly (and by definition, illegally) using the photograph, as it was marked incorrectly as a public domain photograph.
Solutions:
As stated earlier, there is no "formal" rulings, so no "formal" changes have been made. However, there is a general consensus between editors on things which are safe to do:
Images made directly by NWS employees can be uploaded and used under the new PD-USGov-NWS-employee template (Usage: {{PD-USGov-NWS-employee}} ). This is what a large number of PD-NWS templated images are being switched to.
Images from the NOAA Damage Assessment Toolkit (DAT) can be uploaded and used under the PD-DAT template (Usage: {{PD-DAT}} ). A large number of images are also being switched to this template.
For now, you are still welcome to upload images under the PD-NWS template. However, if possible it is recommended using the two templates above. I will send out another update when new information is found or new "rulings" have been made.

I'm working on 3 draft articles centering on the Chicago metropolitan area right now, so feel free to help out. The drafts are:
Oddly enough, these all happened in June of their respective years. I'm certain that the Naperville–Woodridge tornado is notable enough to make it to mainspace, having attained WP:LASTING coverage with local news stories painting it as a big story still. The other two might go into joint articles for Draft:2022 Great Lakes derecho and Draft:Tornado outbreak of June 13, 1976, as they weren't the only events of those days, but I'll still work on them as Wikipedia has a bit of a drought of coverage for individual tornadoes that weren't F5s, and as practice for future weather articles.

The Naperville seems to have been part of a broader outbreak that extended into Canada, with 16 events overall. How would you feel about a bigger article, like June 2021 Great Lakes tornado outbreak? Even the NWS treats it as part of the outbreak. I'm not sure what the notability criteria is for a single tornado, but I'm not sure the Naperville one qualifies. If it's mostly for its significance in terms of Chicago tornado climatology, may I point you to the recently-created List of Illinois tornadoes. Some Chicago-specific climatology could be useful there. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:05, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240824180500","author":"Hurricanehink","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Hurricanehink-20240824180500-GeorgeMemulous-20240824174900","replies":["c-GeorgeMemulous-20240824181500-Hurricanehink-20240824180500"]}}-->
My reply to that is that the Quebec tornado might warrant its own article, as EF2+ tornadoes seem to be quite rare in Quebec. However, aside from that EF2 and the EF3 in Naperville, the rest were weak (EF0/EF1) and likely don't warrant an overall outbreak article. The Naperville-Woodridge tornado is also still receiving news coverage as recently as 2 months ago, so it isn't completely forgettable like even the QLCS tornado mania during the July 14–15 outbreaks across Northern Illinois.

For sure, I'm just thinking it might be easier to flesh out the article if it covered a few tornadoes, including another notable one part of the same system. Although if there is enough aftermath (which there could be since it's still in the news) then that further establishes the case for notability for the individual tornado. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:47, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240824184700","author":"Hurricanehink","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Hurricanehink-20240824184700-GeorgeMemulous-20240824181500","replies":[]}}-->

Not sure if this project is appropriate for handling this. If not, please forward to the right place or people.
On Wikidata, there is a distinction between degree Fahrenheit (Q42289) and Fahrenheit scale (Q105525247). Unfortunately, Wikipedia pages are all assigned to the former, regardless of what they describe. Usually they are both about the scale and about the degree. This needs cleanup. I see two ways of handling this:
Option 2: create a new item for lumping everything together
Create a Wikidata item like "Fahrenheit scale and degree" and move all Wikipedia articles there. (Unless an article talks only about one of the concepts.) Redirects should still be assigned to degree Fahrenheit (Q42289) and Fahrenheit scale (Q105525247), like described in option 1 above. --Tengwar (talk) 21:24, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240824212400","author":"Tengwar","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Tengwar-20240824212400-Fahrenheit_degree_vs_Fahrenheit_scale_-_Wikidata","replies":[]}}-->
