John Morales, a seasoned meteorologist, highlights the detrimental impact of federal cuts on weather forecasting accuracy in South Florida. The Trump administration's layoffs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association have led to staffing shortages and reduced data collection, significantly impairing the National Weather Service’s capability to provide reliable forecasts. Morales reflects on a past successful forecast for Hurricane Dorian, contrasting it with current uncertainties, expressing concern for residents' safety as accurate storm tracking becomes increasingly compromised due to these funding cuts.

The turn was never forecast to be on Sunday... The turn will come Monday afternoon, Monday evening into Tuesday.
