It's not your imagination: Wildfire smoke in the U.S. has dramatically worsened since 2019. According to a new study, it's already killing 41,000 people a year - and it's poised to get much worse.

What we lose when weather balloons don’t fly
Meteorologists are launching fewer weather balloons across the United States as the National Weather Service loses staff. Some worry forecasts will suffer.

Where local forecast offices no longer monitor weather around the clock

Since 2010, sea levels at a gauge in Savannah, Georgia have risen by more than 7 inches. Similar trends in sea level rise are happening across the U.S. South.
