## Resource

Guest: Dr. Neil Jacobs Every forecast, every watch or warning, every piece of storm research in America… starts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And there’s a new leader in charge: Neil Jacobs. Over the past year, as he waited for Congress to confirm his nomination, NOAA saw cuts to staffing, research and observations. All while the infrastructure that predicts our weather keeps right on aging. The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore sat down with Neil Jacobs, for an exclusive interview- his first as head of NOAA.
