Update: The National Weather Service’s contract to produce common language translations for nws.noaa.gov products has been reinstated. Translation capabilities are expected to be operational on or before the end of the day on Monday, April 28. www.weather.gov noaa.gov

As someone collaborating with this program, it worries me to see how much of our population will go unprotected during severe weather events. It's killed before and WILL kill again. All while the U.S. is in the midst of a busy severe wx pattern. This pause needs to be reconsidered urgently!
