A Florida Weatherman's Hurricane Plea Went Viral. Here's Why.
A meteorologist who has spent his career warning South Florida about hurricanes had a new warning for viewers last week: He's not sure he can do it this year. John Morales of WTVJ in Miami said the Trump administration's recent cuts to the National Weather Service could leave television forecasters like him 'flying blind' this hurricane season. 'We may not exactly know how strong a hurricane is before it reaches the coastline,' he warned. Clips of Mr. Morales's comments have spread widely: one posted on MSNBC's TikTok account has nearly 4,500 comments, and news outlets around the world have written articles about what he said. (This isn't the first time Mr. Morales has been the subject of viral attention: In the fall, his emotional reaction to Hurricane Milton's rapid intensification also hit a nerve.) Here's what Mr. Morales had to say and more about what is going on with the Weather Service. He warned of less accurate forecasts. Mr. Morales's presentation on Monday began with a clip of himself following the Category 5 Hurricane Dorian in 2019 as it moved over the Bahamas. He reassured his Florida viewers that the powerful storm would turn north before it reached their coastline. And it did, exactly when Mr. Morales assured anxious viewers it would. The clip cuts to him in present day, slightly older and now wearing glasses. He recalled the confidence he used to have in delivering an accurate forecast to his viewers. Want all of The Times?

Warm and breezy Sunday with a chance of pop-up storms
(PINPOINT WEATHER) — We're warm and quiet to start this Sunday, but storm chances will return to finish off the weekend. Overnight lows have settled in the mid to upper 60s with partly cloudy skies kicking off this Sunday morning. Winds are light out of the southwest but will pick up later today. Highs will make a run for the upper 80s as winds gust as fast as 25 miles per hour at times. Our breezy and hot afternoon will also feature pop-up storms that will likely develop after 3 p.m. today. Storms will have the potential to pack a punch in the form of damaging winds and large hail. This threat will put us under a marginal and slight risk for severe weather today, with the highest threat sitting south and east of Uptown. Storms taper off tonight as lows fall into the upper 60s overnight. We'll be stormy and hot to kick off the work week as Monday continues our weekend summerlike pattern. Be on the lookout for another round of potentially severe thunderstorms to develop heading into Monday afternoon. Monday will see a slight risk for severe weather yet again, with the threat of storms present. We'll see lower storm chances throughout the week, but temperatures will stay locked in near 90 degrees through the weekend. Today: Mix of Sun & Clouds with Afternoon Storms. High: 88. Tonight: Partly Cloudy & Comfortable. Low: 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
