Today we announce the retirement of senior hurricane specialist Dr. Lixion Avila. After 33 years of federal service, all of it at NHC, he's ready to enjoy the next chapter in his life. We will miss our friend and colleague, and wish him well! @NOAA @NWShttps://t.co/Uo7tpp673V pic.twitter.com/avfnJPnQvu
