Weather is impartial, not the organizations tasked with monitoring it. Can you definitively say that NOAA cuts didn't affect this? ATC is one of dozens of orgs that a) have been cut substantially and b) do have some role in preventing things like this.
weather is not in fact impartial. the conservatives have been ruining it since they buried the first reports of fossil fuels causing it in the 1950s.
i don't think NOAA cuts affected the pilots' decision making using a radar in their cockpit, plus 2 controllers advising them of shit weather along their route
