The US National Weather Service will consolidate its major forecasting units in response to a potential loss of up to 1,000 employees due to early retirements and other separations. This decision, revealed during an agency meeting with Director Ken Graham, includes merging the Weather Prediction Center and the Climate Prediction Center, as well as integrating a research lab with an environmental modeling center. The agency's staffing issues have been exacerbated by prior reductions under the Trump administration, impacting essential weather data services.
