NBC 6 South Florida meteorologist John Morales outlined how President Donald Trump’s drastic spending cuts on science and national weather services will likely impact how accurately weather broadcasters can convey forecasts to audiences.

Before Morales laid out the details, he played a clip from a 2019 report he did on Hurricane Dorian, in which the storm traveled up the Florida coastline. At the time, Morales said locals had concerns that it would hit South Florida. In the video, he was able to assure watchers that weather patterns indicated the storm would veer away from the area.
