This is a dangerous lie.

30 of 122 WFOs don’t have an MIC.

NWS is famously flexible, but you can’t let 14% (600/4300) of an already thin workforce go - especially the senior staff - and then claim “overstaffing”.

You can only stretch a rubber band so far before it snaps.
Leavitt: "There were record-breaking lead times in the lead up to this catastrophe ... in fact, one of the offices was actually overstaffed. They had more people than they need."

“Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life.” - Former NWS Directors, May 2025

Today we learned about how radar takes slices through storm cells using colored Play-Doh (reflectivity isosurfaces) and plastic knives (the radar beam)!

Our #SPOTTR class launched a radiosonde this morning to help NWS Indianapolis collect extra upper air data in advance of today's storms! It was great training for our upcoming trip! Photo from @paige-ashlyn-h.bsky.social. #inwx
