US Senator Chuck Schumer is pushing for an additional $30 million funding for the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The move comes after severe weather events, such as tornadoes and snowstorms, caused significant damage in Western New York. Schumer believes the extra funds will help improve weather forecasting and climate research, reducing the impact of such events. The senator cites the need for modernization and improvement of supercomputing capacity at NOAA to provide more accurate weather predictions.
