The National Weather Service office in Sacramento, which serves as a hub in California and forecasts weather in areas including Redding, Modesto, Vallejo and the Sierra Nevada, has been forced to cut down its operations and services due to “critically reduced staffing,” triggered by Department of Government Efficiency layoffs. … Several other weather service offices in California are facing critical staffing shortages. The Monterey office, which serves the broader Bay Area region, is currently at a roughly 20% vacancy rate, with three vacant positions. The Hanford office, which forecasts for the San Joaquin Valley, Yosemite National Park and the southern Sierra Nevada, is facing staffing levels as low as 50%.
