Needing more attention (IMO) is the impact to NWS and NOS systems maintenance. Radars, ASOS, upper air, ocean buoys, tide gauges and a myriad of other data collection efforts require frequent work just to stay functional. Outages and extended downtime will accumulate with cascading impacts. #NOAA
While some of the impacts of these firings may be short-term, we will likely only see the true extent of the damage over time, when reduced prediction & modeling capabilities for impending disasters & hazards end up being counted in lives & properties lost 😔
