With fewer weather balloons due to government staffing cuts, forecasts may be less accurate
88% Informative
The National Weather Service has released weather balloons at more than 100 sites across the country.
At least 10 sites have suspended or limited launches because of the Trump administration’s cuts.
Meteorologists and weather balloon experts say the change will reduce forecast quality and increase risk during severe weather.
The balloons are among the most important sources of data for weather models.
Some private companies are trying to fill gaps in the National Weather Service’s system.
The startup Windborne is developing a network of low-cost, long-range balloons to monitor hard-to-reach areas.
Windborne CEO John Dean says private businesses are unlikely to replace the service NOAA has provided.
