NOAA losing key storm satellite

  • The U.S. Department of Defense and NOAA will suspend data from three weather satellites by July 31, endangering hurricane forecasting during peak season.
  • Driven by cybersecurity concerns, aging satellites beyond their lifespan, and Trump-era staffing and budget cuts at NOAA, the decision led to suspending critical hurricane data feeds.
  • Data from three Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites, supplying about half of U.S. microwave data, will cease, severely degrading hurricane modeling and forecasts during peak season.
  • With the suspension of critical satellite data following Tropical Storm Andrea's formation, hurricane forecasts will be severely impaired, making timely warnings harder for millions of Americans.
  • Experts warn the decommissioning of satellites slated for 2026 will leave forecast gaps until replacements are operational in 2027.
