Seems like this would undermine USBR's push to get more operational flexibility using Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations at their California Central Valley reservoirs. Not my domain though. Any #CAwater wonks want to chime in on what this means for FIRO?

I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx
Map of local National Weather Service office "areas of responsibility" modified (using polygons with black outlines and red fill) to indicate where recent/expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS have resulting in understaffing so extreme that some offices can not longer operate on a 24/7 basis.

I am reeling today from all the messages I was getting from friends and colleagues at FWS, EPA, USBR, USGS about firings. Everything about this is F’d.

I’m gutted. OPM fired about 25% of my office today.
I can’t even describe what I witnessed today. So much cruelty from above, but so much love and support inside the office.
It makes no sense. We aren’t even paid out of appropriations funds. We work on “soft money” reimbursable agreements.
