US Weather Analysis for 27 States Goes Dark in Funding Lapse
(Bloomberg) -- Weather analysis tools used by a wide array of businesses and government entities across the US have gone dark after funding for long-running regional climate hubs lapsed.
The websites for four US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration regional centers serving 27 states across the central and southern US — including Texas, Florida, Ohio, the Dakotas and the Carolinas — are no longer accessible, according to service notifications posted on the centers’ home pages. #NWS #NOAA #weather

Stand Up for NOAA Research — The Time to Act Is Now
April 17, 2025
A Statement of the American Meteorological Society in Partnership with the National Weather Association
The administration’s 2026 budget passback plan, currently under consideration, eliminates NOAA’s Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Office and its 10 research laboratories and 16 affiliated Cooperative Institutes, and moves the few remaining research efforts to different NOAA departments. If enacted, the passback would close all of NOAA’s weather, climate, and ocean Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes.
The speed at which these decisions are being made translates into little to no opportunity for feedback or consideration of long-term impacts. Without NOAA research, National Weather Service (NWS) weather models and products will stagnate, observational data collection will be reduced, public outreach will decrease, undergraduate and graduate student support will drop, and NOAA funding for universities will plummet. In effect, the scientific backbone and workforce needed to keep weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective will be drastically undercut, with unknown — yet almost certainly disastrous — consequences for public safety and economic health. As key stakeholders, AMS and NWA stand ready to provide our expertise so that the U.S. can maintain its competitiveness in the years ahead.

California weather service office will no longer answer public phone calls amid staffing cuts
The National Weather Service office in Sacramento, which serves as a hub in California and forecasts weather in areas including Redding, Modesto, Vallejo and the Sierra Nevada, has been forced to cut down its operations and services due to “critically reduced staffing,” triggered by Department of Government Efficiency layoffs.
The weather service office sent an email to partners Wednesday afternoon detailing major changes. The shifts include:
Public phone calls will no longer be answered
Written forecasts, including fire weather forecasts, will only be published once per day, rather than twice per day
Staffing levels will be routinely reduced during overnight shifts, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Social media channels will be monitored less frequently
The office plans to remain fully staffed during extreme weather events. #weather #STO #NWS #CAwx

Continued thread
And more notes from the live chat with Dr. Daniel Swain (Weather West) on the chaos and destruction of NOAA and National Weather Services by DOGE and Trump Regime:
Dept of Defense will no longer include climate change in their plans.
If research funding is replaced by corporations replaces the funding, it will cause bias in the research.
No philanthropy can afford to fund to replace all the weather services throughout the USA.
Defunding the weather balloons means that data to predict a tornado or the landing location of a hurricane will be gone.
