Due to significant staffing shortages, NOAA offices, including the Weather Service and the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, have begun reducing services, halting weather balloon launches and placing public communications on indefinite hiatus. The cuts also deeply impact the Office of Space Commerce and other critical divisions responsible for weather forecasting, climate modeling, and satellite operations. As the weather and climate community expresses frustration, NOAA maintains its commitment to providing essential information and resources while adapting to these challenging circumstances caused by ongoing personnel reductions.
By Thursday night, some Weather Service and NOAA offices were already cutting back on their services.
The NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory announced its public communications would be on 'indefinite hiatus' due to staffing shortages.
The cuts infuriated the tight-knit weather and climate community, which depends on NOAA for raw data, forecast guidance, and computer modeling.
NOAA remains dedicated to its mission, providing timely information, research, and resources that serve the American public.
