The National Weather Service plans to rehire for hundreds of jobs previously eliminated by the Department of Government Efficiency.
Four hundred and fifty meteorologists, hydrologists, and radar technicians are expected to be hired.
Congressmen Mike Flood of Nebraska and Eric Sorensen of Illinois previously sponsored legislation that would exempt Weather Service employees from DOGE cuts. They say that rehiring is a step in the right direction, but they are still pushing their bill to ensure the newly hired staff are protected.
