The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is afraid it’ll be suspended, says it’s working with Twitter

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration regularly monitors atmospheric conditions and occasionally shoots out weather warnings and tips to its 1.2 million followers on Twitter. The agency didn’t issue a tweet about the API changes though a spokesperson acknowledged the challenging environment in an interview with a local Fort Wane, Indiana publication.
“We are aware of the announced changes to Twitter’s API service,” the spokesperson said “We will work with Twitter on the impact this change may have on our Twitter feeds. Communications via social media is a supplemental service provided by the National Weather Service to extend the reach of NWS information.”
