Radiosondes on weather balloons are essential for collecting data from the upper atmosphere for accurate forecasting. Due to the mass firing at NOAA, the NWS doesn’t have enough people to launch balloons. 🎈

Accurate weather forecasts save lives.

See data here: www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundi...
A public information statement from the National Weather Service announces the temporary suspension of radiosonde observations (weather balloon launches) in Albany, New York, and Gray, Maine, due to staffing shortages. The document outlines details about the suspension and provides contact information.

All NWS services: data, forecasts, radar, satellite, IT infrastructure, costs each American taxpayer $4/yr. Less than a latte. And each person gets back 73 x $4 = $292 a year in value for that service.

I think that’s a pretty good deal.
