💨 Abstract

The Trump administration's job cuts in the National Weather Service have resulted in near-half of its forecast offices having 20% vacancy rates, which experts say amounts to critical understaffing, with 55 out of 122 offices reaching that level. This staffing shortage has been exacerbated by severe weather events across the nation's heartland, making it difficult for meteorologists to issue warnings and survey damage.
