Commerce Secretary Approves Plan to Close Weather Offices at Air Traffic Control Centers - Move Will Endanger Traffic Safety, Forecasters Union Says
The Department of Commerce announced today that it is moving forward with controversial plans to close the National Weather Service Center Weather Service Units ("CWSUs") located at each of the 20 Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) in the continental United States. These forecast units provide real time, face-to-face, weather guidance to the air traffic controllers and air traffic management supervisors. The NWS has offered to send the FAA forecasts from two central units located in Maryland and Kansas City instead. The proposal was developed by the NWS in response to an FAA request to cut the cost of the CWSU program, which is funded by the FAA.
