The proposed cuts to NOAA aren't just numbers on a budget—they're a direct threat to public safety. Protecting NOAA funding is about protecting your family, your community, and your future. Learn more about these dangerous cuts here: bit.ly/4iaKpJ2

“My weather app does it better!”

-Weather Watches/Warnings? NWS
-Forecast data? NWS
-Observations? NWS
-Satellite? NOAA/NESDIS
-Futurecast modeling data? You guessed it, NWS (via EMC).
-Climatology data? The weather data compiled over a long period by techs.
-Outlooks? NWS

Food for thought. 💭

I’m a federal employee, a research meteorologist at a NOAA lab (OAR-NSSL). I still have my job tonight. Many of my NOAA colleagues and many more of my fellow civil servants don’t. I want to share what people like me do. Instead of doomscrolling, maybe we can learn what civil service looks like.

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13.
I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.
Predicting El Niño and La Niña is tough, but new research analyzing 20+ years of forecasts finds dynamical models outperform statistical ones, especially for El Niño. La Niña onset? That's been much harder. Read more in our new ENSO blog post! www.climate.gov/news-feature...

To all NOAA probationary employees today: I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry.

Reach out if you need to talk or want to chat about job opportunities. I’ve served on many AMS committees and have some thoughts about the landscape.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Several confirmed terminations of probationary employees across NOAA today.

These are good, hardworking, dedicated public servants working to better our country and its people whose lives, careers, and livelihoods are being destroyed w/o cause.

Absolutely heartbroken.
This is wrong.

The hammer fell on NOAA/NWS this afternoon. 😭💔 There were no exceptions. All probationary employees.
New: Layoffs underway of probationary employees at @noaa.gov Unclear so far how many were exempted for public safety reasons at the Nat'l Weather Service, NOAA Satellites and other units. www.axios.com/2025/02/27/l...
Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA
The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

🚨Bureau of Land Management fire management staff across multiple states told me DOGE put a $1 limit on their credit cards this week, preventing them from buying time-sensitive supplies to prepare for the fire season. It means if there were to be a fire, they potentially couldn’t travel to fight it.
