This is devastating news. Today’s reported layoffs at the NWS will impact our ability to keep Americans safe from extreme weather. These forecasters are essential frontline workers who save lives during hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. Cutting these meteorologists isn’t just short-sighted… it’s dangerous.

My guess is, we’ll never notice the difference.

Local media here every time there is going to be a rainstorm every channel gives you a different forecast as to how much rain we will get

More likely a terrifying term like the newly minted “bomb cyclone” or “atmospheric river”….

Nonsense. With satellite technologies and AI models, we don’t need nearly as many weathermen as we used to.

National Weather Service is one of the govt functions we need.
Every weather radar and data you see on TV comes from their radars and data.
I did see the stupid grants NOAA had given out ; that part needs to go.
Keep the important stuff

“These forecasters are essential frontline workers”

No, they were recent hires. Biden minions went on a hiring spree before he left office to load up on pro union dudes.

You forget the “polar vortex” when it gets cold in the winter
