The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality. We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.

This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.
