Weather Service stops receiving satellite data

[Desperado]

Is there any part of the United States Government that actually does work? With a storm brewing in the gulf
the Weather Service has a blind eye.

Since at least Tuesday, some satellite data – an important input to weather prediction models – has stopped flowing into the National Weather Service due to an apparent network outage.

At 1 p.m. today, the National Weather Service’s National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) issued the following statement cautioning the outage could impact forecast quality:

NCEP HAS NOT RECEIVED A FULL FEED OF SATELLITE DATA FOR INPUT INTO THE NUMERICAL MODELS SINCE 22/0000Z…POTENTIALLY IMPACTING THE MODEL FORECASTS.NESDIS AND NCEP ARE INVESTIGATING THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. ONCE THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED ANOTHER MESSAGE WILL FOLLOW.

They should have plenty of money now since they have no manned space program anymore.

Someone was probably just recalibrating temperature readings up and sent some bad code.

When this administration recalibrates something, it converts everything else into a vote for a democratic candidate so you are probably close
