NWS Office Still Closed Because of Mold

The National Weather Service office in Charleston is still closed because of a black mold infestation. The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports it could take two weeks or more to treat the mold. In the meantime, some employees have been moved to the National Weather Service’s Pittsburgh office while others have been moved to Wilmington, Ohio. The Pittsburg and Wilmington offices often overlap with Charleston’s coverage area. Meteorologists will continue to monitor weather data remotely and it should not affect the area’s forecasts.
