The proposed cuts to NOAA aren't just numbers on a budget—they're a direct threat to public safety. Protecting NOAA funding is about protecting your family, your community, and your future. Learn more about these dangerous cuts here: bit.ly/4iaKpJ2
“My weather app does it better!”
-Weather Watches/Warnings? NWS
-Forecast data? NWS
-Observations? NWS
-Satellite? NOAA/NESDIS
-Futurecast modeling data? You guessed it, NWS (via EMC).
-Climatology data? The weather data compiled over a long period by techs.
-Outlooks? NWS
Food for thought. 💭
I’m a federal employee, a research meteorologist at a NOAA lab (OAR-NSSL). I still have my job tonight. Many of my NOAA colleagues and many more of my fellow civil servants don’t. I want to share what people like me do. Instead of doomscrolling, maybe we can learn what civil service looks like.
Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13.
I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.
Local NWS Anchorage meteorologist just made it past his 1-year probationary period. Still fired.
To all NOAA probationary employees today: I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry.
Reach out if you need to talk or want to chat about job opportunities. I’ve served on many AMS committees and have some thoughts about the landscape.
NOAA, which oversees the National Weather Service fired 800 today as tornado season ramps up next week across parts of Texas, and the South. The story with colleagues @bloomberg.com colleagues: @laurenthal.bsky.social @arinatter.bsky.social

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.
Several confirmed terminations of probationary employees across NOAA today.
These are good, hardworking, dedicated public servants working to better our country and its people whose lives, careers, and livelihoods are being destroyed w/o cause.
Absolutely heartbroken.
This is wrong.
The hammer fell on NOAA/NWS this afternoon. 😭💔 There were no exceptions. All probationary employees.
New: Layoffs underway of probationary employees at @noaa.gov Unclear so far how many were exempted for public safety reasons at the Nat'l Weather Service, NOAA Satellites and other units. www.axios.com/2025/02/27/l...
🚨Bureau of Land Management fire management staff across multiple states told me DOGE put a $1 limit on their credit cards this week, preventing them from buying time-sensitive supplies to prepare for the fire season. It means if there were to be a fire, they potentially couldn’t travel to fight it.
Me - on vacation all last week and my vacation email was still on, so they know that I was on vacation all week. So I’m thoroughly stressed out right now.
