Replying to @Heidigirlxoxo On June 30th, the Dept of Defense will shut down a critical satellite data feed used in hurricane forecasting with no real explanation. The microwave satellite data helps us see inside tropical cyclones: tracking the center, spotting early intensification, and guiding models. Without it, forecasts will be less accurate, especially overnight and in the early stages of a storm. This was a quiet decision with serious consequences, right in the middle of hurricane season. #HurricaneSeason #SSMIS #WeatherTok #ForecastAccuracy #ClimateRisk #NOAA #StormTracking #ScienceMatters #DataCuts #WeatherExplained #TropicalWeather #Meteorologist #NOAA #NHC #HurricaneSeason
