🚨 Meteorologists are sounding the alarm: severe weather forecasts are already slipping due to staffing cuts at the National Weather Service. Lives are on the line. 📉 Forecast quality down ⏱️ Lead times shorter ⚠️ Systems stretched thin Call Congress now—demand they fully restore NOAA.

Meteorologists say NWS cuts degraded forecasts during recent storms

The National Weather Service’s reduction in weather balloon launches meant forecasters had less data available when the central U.S. got hammered with hail and tornadoes.

The warming atmosphere is increasing heavy rain and flooding. We must empower NY water authorities with policy tools to address the stormwater crisis. My bill (S4071) enables them to adopt innovative strategies to make communities “Rain Ready.” Thank you to the Senate Majority for your support.

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.

There is so much to unpack in this article but the most important takeaway is that @nysfocus.bsky.social doing work that no other outlet has dared to approach. This desperately needs more sunlight & I hope this is the first in a series that digs deeper because this should be understood as a crisis.
