At least how many National Weather Service forecast offices stopped staffing overnight shifts by May 2025, leaving communities without live meteorologists during peak storm hours?

Question

Accepted Answer

At least eight NWS forecast offices suspended 24/7 overnight operations by May 2025, according to the Washington Post and a Senate Commerce Committee statement from Senator Maria Cantwell. The Goodland, Kansas office became the first in May 2025, followed by offices in Wyoming, Oregon, California, and Kentucky. Offices that close overnight leave no meteorologist on duty from roughly 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. — hours when flash floods and tornadoes frequently strike sleeping communities.
