  • NOAA will develop and test AI weather models at global, regional, and local scales while continuing to improve traditional math-based forecasting.
  • The agency must study and improve how it explains forecast uncertainty and environmental risk to the public.
  • NOAA must send progress reports to Congress every two years on its AI forecasting work through 2035.
