From a former NOAA chief operating officer. Wow Overnight, two other highly credible voices came out with strongly worded comments: Joe Friday, former director of NWS and Bill Read, former NHC director.

Are you freaking kidding me- March??? This would sacrifice the whole offseason hurricane preparedness program for our country and decimate our hurricane modeling. This is no joke- no question this shutdown is making our country less prepared for the 2019 season and beyond. I wrote a long thread last week about the effects here:

Hard to believe, but with the House adjourned until next week, the shutdown will almost certainly extend into a second month. Here’s a recap thread as Union Steward of NHC of what we have lost so far, and what else is on the chopping block: The National #AMS2019 conference has come and gone. All the potential scientific gains, interactions, new ideas- not this year. I probably regret losing the interactions with the hundreds of student attendees the most- a real missed chance for future inspiration and talent.

Here’s an update now that we are late into the third week of the shutdown- almost everything in that thread has come to pass with more negative things to come. Thread below 👇 Basically all of the federal government @noaa @nasa employees have missed the @ametsoc conference this week. A few scattered contractors were able to attend, but overall a lost opportunity to share ideas, present work and inspire the next class of students.

Since the shutdown is nearing a second week, I thought I’d share a thread as Union Steward on how it is affecting me and the @NWS - the agency I work for. While life-saving services continue, the shutdown most certainly still has negative consequences: The National AMS conference starts next weekend. Thousands of people will gather for it, but unless the shutdown ends- very unlikely anyone from NOAA is going (no travel permitted except for emergencies). So much lost time and money that can’t be recovered.
