The gov’t now says it’ll hire 100 people back at the National Weather Service—a good first step. But don’t be fooled: the rest of NOAA is still in disarray. You can’t forecast storms accurately without satellites, radar, and the science teams behind them.

Where does your weather forecast come from?
Whether you get your forecast from an app on your phone, a website or a meteorologist on TV, most of the underlying information comes from the federal government.

Staff cuts forced this forecast office to shut overnight. Then a tornado hit.
The Jackson, Kentucky office is one of a growing number of forecast offices unable to cover an overnight shift since the Trump administration cut staffing levels through buyouts and firings.
