Make no mistake about it, if those numbers are even close to true, there is no way all of the weather forecast offices can exist as they do now. A full-on attack on public weather services.

If a car lost 25% of its parts, it doesn't slow down. It just doesn't work.
National Weather Service employees were encouraged to take early retirements at an all-hands meeting Thursday. The union believes as many as 1,000 could leave in the coming months - out of a workforce of just over 4,000.

#SAVENOAA ALERT: We understand that 16 of our colleagues have now had their terminations rescinded. We are thrilled for them, and we welcome this news! However, the vast majority of terminated NOAA employees have not been reinstated, and more cuts are imminent: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/c...
More NOAA Employees May Be Let Go, Making 20% of Staff Cut
Together with recent firings and resignations, the new cuts could hamper the National Weather Service’s ability to produce lifesaving forecasts, scientists say.

Now, Emily Schlie develops software to support NOAA's weather forecast offices. Third party apps get their information from NOAA. Weather apps can't provide things like tornado warnings without that information. Read more: www.cira.colostate.edu/cira-admin/n...

The latest mass firing by the Trump administration is hitting hundreds of scientists and other workers at @noaa.gov.

While you might not be familiar with the agency's name, you probably benefit from NOAA’s work every day.

NOAA’s work makes weather forecasts possible, in addition to vital research
NOAA’s vast public weather data powers the local forecasts on your phone and TV – a private company alone couldn’t match it
NOAA operates fleets of satellites, sensors on airplanes and ocean-going buoys, as well as radar, providing the data used by weather forecasters nationwide – and freely available to anyone.

The work done by the scientists at NOAA facilities in Boulder and beyond protects our communities in countless ways.

Proud to stand with @bennet.senate.gov & Senator Hickenlooper in demanding immediate answers on these reckless mass terminations from the Deputy Inspector General 👇🏾

This includes me. I started with NOAA as a freshman in college at the National Severe Storms Lab, and ended yesterday after almost 40 years supporting NOAA atmospheric science research with communications and passion. Taking a breath.
The Trump administration’s mass firing of employees at NOAA, including here in Colorado, will have devastating consequences for our country and weaken our ability to respond to wildfires and natural disasters.

It is unacceptable, and we won’t stand for it.
Mass Layoffs Begin at NOAA
The cuts came just before a separate wave of departures was expected under the Trump administration’s so-called deferred resignation program.
