Texas Officials Slam Trump’s National Weather Service for Botched Forecast
Why Troubling News:
This article claims that Trump's cuts to the NWS played a part in the poor forecasts leading up to the flash floods in Texas. Other reports tell us that warnings were sent out before the event occurred, and that the NWS did what it was supposed to do during the crisis. While initial rain forecasts underestimated rainfall amounts, this cannot be directly tied to cuts to the NWS, since weather forecasts are naturally difficult to get right.
