South Florida meteorologist warns viewers NWS staff shortages will impact his hurricane forecasts

A South Florida meteorologist warned viewers that National Weather Service (NWS) shortages will impact his forecasts. In a segment that aired Tuesday on WTVJ, a local NBC television station, meteorologist John Morales talked about previous coverage of a hurricane in 2019, saying, 'confidently, I went on TV, and I told you, 'It's going to turn. You don't need to worry; it is going to turn.'' 'And I am here to tell you, that I am not sure I can do that this year, because of the cuts, the gutting, the sledgehammer attack on science in general,' he added. 'Specifically, let's talk about the federal government cuts to the National Weather Service and to NOAA,' Morales said later. 'Did you know that Central and South Florida National Weather Service offices are currently basically 20 to 40 percent understaffed? From Tampa to Key West, including the Miami office, 20 to 40 percent understaffed.' The Hill reported on Monday that the National Weather Service (NWS) was looking to rehire 126 people after expansive layoffs at the agency resulted in offices being understaffed. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which NWS is a part of, had previously fired hundreds of workers as part of an attempt to lessen the size of government. Florida, like other states in the U.S. Southeast, is often at risk of hurricanes from the Atlantic. Hurricane season just started on Sunday. 'NOAA leadership is taking steps to address those who took a voluntary early retirement option. NWS continues to conduct short-term Temporary Duty assignments (TDYs), and is in the process of conducting a series of Reassignment Opportunity Notices (RONs) to fill roles at NWS field locations with the greatest operational need,' NOAA said in an emailed statement to The Hill on Tuesday. 'Additionally, a targeted number of permanent, mission-critical field positions will soon be advertised under an exception to the Department-wide hiring freeze to further stabilize frontline operations.'

Wichita metro area under flood warning. Here's how much rain has fallen, forecast

Drivers in the Wichita metro area are being asked to take caution Tuesday afternoon after heavy rainfall flooded streets and intersections. Shortly after 5 p.m., the Kansas Department of Transportation said drivers on Kellogg in Wichita should 'be aware that flooding has impacted multiple ramps in eastbound and westbound directions.' No ramps were closed, but KDOT said conditions could change rapidly. Just before 5, the National Weather service issued an updated flood warning effective until 11 p.m. for Wichita, Derby, El Dorado, Andover, Haysville, Augusta, Park City, Valley Center, Bel Aire, Goddard, Rose Hill, Maize, Towanda, Colwich, Benton, Kechi and Eastborough. The weather service initially issued at flood warning at 10 a.m. and later added a flash flood warning for southeastern Sedgwick County until 5:45 p.m. 'At 133 PM CDT, local law enforcement reported thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area. Between 3 and 4inches of rain have fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly. This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for along and east of I-135 in downtown Wichita into East Wichita. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!' the warning said. Areas that could have flash flooding include Wichita, Andover, Haysville, Bel Aire, Eastborough, east Wichita, McConnell Air Force Base, northeast Wichita, south Wichita, Jabara Airport and Oaklawn. In late morning, Valley Center Police chief Lloyd Newman said that officers and firefighters were out responding to stalled cars, and that a majority of the city's streets were flooded. He urged residents to not go out in their vehicles. 'Water's backed up on probably a majority of our streets, certainly on the east side of town,' Newman said over the phone. 'I think the storm drains are just having trouble keeping up with this amount of rain.' Over the past 12 hours, Valley Center had received 4.37 inches of rainfall, with 3.24 inches of that picked up over a three-hour period, National Weather Service Wichita meteorologist William Iwasko said at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. During the same time period, Wichita saw 0.96 inches of rainfall and minimal flooding. Just southeast of Valley Center, Park City closed off Broadway in front of 81 Speedway and south of 77th street because of high water, the city said in a social media post. 'Please be aware of the high water throughout the city, and do not drive into it,' the city said. Wednesday should offer a break from the rain with a sunny high between 73 and 77 degrees. Off-and-on chances for showers and thunderstorms will persist Thursday and into the weekend, but Iwakso said the heaviest rainfall was expected to end Tuesday. 'Tomorrow [Wednesday] during the daylight hours will be beautiful,' Iwasko said. Riverfest delayed Tuesday's events and activities due to the weather, but is updating festival-goers on its social platforms.

Eastern NC preparing a hurricane season officially underway

CARTERET COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) — Hurricane season has begun and meteorologists with the National Weather Service are anticipating an active year. Warning Coordination Meteorologist for the National Weather Service Erik Heden stressed how long the season is and how important it is to be prepared early. Heden said the category of a hurricane should also not determine how well you prepare or how seriously you take a storm since it only relates to wind. He said 85 percent of hurricane-related deaths are due to water. 'During Florence, we also learned that we had a whole lot more flooding in areas that we've never had flooding before,' Carteret County Emergency Services Director Stephen Rea said. 'It's the whole county that's vulnerable.' Rea said it's important to have a weeks' worth of supplies in a hurricane preparedness kit including food, water, batteries and a weather radio. It's also important to have a strong evacuation plan. 'A shelter is a safe place, but it should be your last resort. It's not a hotel. It's not going to be a comfortable location,' Heden said. 'Try to go to a hotel either out of state or out of the area or all the people that come and visit you at the beach? Go visit them.' The National Weather Service is hosting a hurricane community forum at the Pine Knoll Shores Town Hall June 17th at 10 a.m. You can register here.
