‘Flying blind': Florida weatherman tells viewers Trump cuts will harm forecasts
A leading TV weatherman in Florida has warned viewers on air that he may not be able to properly inform them of incoming hurricanes because of cuts by the Trump administration to federal weather forecasting. John Morales, a veteran meteorologist at NBC 6 South Florida, told viewers on Monday night that Donald Trump's cuts to climate and weather agencies mean that forecasters will be 'flying blind' into what is expected to be an active hurricane season. Recalling Hurricane Dorian, which devastated the Bahamas in 2019 and appeared to be heading straight for Florida, Morales said he was confidently able to assure worried viewers it would turn away from the state. Related: Key US weather monitoring offices understaffed as hurricane season starts 'I am here to tell you I'm not sure I can do that this year,' he said. 'Because of the cuts, the gutting, the sledgehammer attack on science in general.' Morales said that the attacks by the Trump administration on science would have a 'multigenerational impact on science in this country' and will specifically hamper his job due to the slashing of hundreds of jobs at the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa). 'Did you know central and south Florida National Weather Service offices are currently 20% to 40% understaffed, from Tampa to Key West?' Morales said, referencing the widespread staff shortages in weather service offices along the hurricane-prone Gulf of Mexico coast and Puerto Rico. 'This type of staffing shortage is having impacts across the nation because there has been a 20% reduction in weather balloon releases, launches. What we are starting to see is the quality of the forecast is becoming degraded.' TV forecasters such as Morales, as well as private weather forecasting services and apps, rely upon federal scientists for data gleaned from sources such as satellites, weather balloon launches and aircraft surveys. Morales warned viewers that Noaa 'hurricane hunter' aircraft may not be able to fly this year and 'with less reconnaissance we may be flying blind and we may not exactly know how strong a hurricane is before it reaches the coastline'. On Thursday, Morales told the Guardian that he stood by his statements and that the 'message was clear' to viewers. Asked if he was worried about retaliation from an administration that has sought to defund and disparage scientists, Morales said: 'No, not at all. Science is science.' Noaa has predicted that the US's hurricane season, which officially started on Sunday, will be more active than usual, with as many as five major hurricanes with winds of 111mph (179km/h) or more. This has heightened concerns over the consequences of funding cuts by Trump as part of the president's attempts to shrink the federal workforce. After losing 600 staff to layoffs and early retirements, causing it to admit to 'degraded operations' with fewer staff to handle forecasts, the National Weather Service was this week given special permission to hire 100 forecasters, radar technicians and others despite a government-wide hiring freeze. The Trump administration has insisted the American public will be properly informed of hurricane risks despite the cuts. But experts have said that much more will need to be done to ensure the weather service is not overstretched and for the US to become better prepared for extreme weather impacts that are escalating due to global heating. Trump has regularly dismissed the established science of climate change, calling it a 'giant hoax' and 'bullshit'. On air on Monday, Morales said viewers should rally to protect the National Weather Service. 'What you need to do is call your representatives and make sure these cuts are stopped,' he said.

What is a mesoscale convective system?
When the ingredients of moisture, an unstable atmosphere and a lifting mechanism combine, thunderstorms often form, but sometimes, several cells can join forces and turn into what is known as a mesoscale convective system, or what is often called an MCS. Unlike a traditional thunderstorm that lasts for minutes or even an hour, once an MCS forms, it can take on a life of its own and last for several hours, spanning hundreds of miles of terrain. The formation of an MCS usually happens during the warmer months when nighttime temperatures are sufficient to aid in thunderstorm development, without relying solely on daytime heating. Once an MCS forms, it can essentially take on a life of its own, generating weather features that help it maintain strength and structure well after initial development. In many cases, the low-level jet is responsible for the complex of thunderstorms persisting and maintaining its strength for hundreds of miles. What Is A Derecho? The complex of thunderstorms often moves in a west-to-east or southwest-to-northeast motion and is directed by the jet stream or pressure patterns. The primary threats from an MCS are gusty winds, heavy rainfall and plentiful cloud-to-ground lightning, but it can occasionally produce hail and isolated tornadoes. If a tornado is associated with the system, it tends to occur along the leading edge of the thunderstorm activity; however, the primary concerns are usually flooding and damaging winds. Wind gusts are often greater than hurricane-force, leading to downed trees, power lines and sometimes structural damage that can resemble a weak tornado. National Weather Service offices often issue Severe Thunderstorm Warnings ahead of an MCS's impacts, during which people are encouraged to find safety in a sturdy shelter and stay away from windows. Photo Gallery: The Worst 25 Hurricanes Over The Last 25 Years According to a long-term study, the most common regions to find MCS activity are the Mid-South, Gulf Coast, Central Plains and Midwest, especially during the May through August timeframe. These weather systems are an important part of the climate, as some areas rely on MCSs for more than 50% of their annual rainfall. There are several types of MCSs, with the most well-known being squall lines and derechos, but even tropical cyclones and lake-effect snow events can be classified as MCSs, depending on their formation and coverage. To be classified as a derecho, a cluster of thunderstorms must produce a swath of straight-line wind damage covering at least 400 miles. One of the most significant derecho events in U.S. history occurred across much of the Midwest during the summer of 2020. During that event, winds gusted up to 140 mph, causing more than $7.5 billion in article source: What is a mesoscale convective system?
