What this bill does
H.R. 4141, the Advanced Weather Model Computing Development Act, would amend the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017 to expand federal efforts on advanced computing for weather and climate prediction. It directs the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), referred to as the Under Secretary, to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to support NOAA's missions and to establish or expand "centers of excellence" that develop AI, high-performance computing tools, and explore quantum computing partnerships. It allows NOAA to enter multi-year contracts for high-performance and cloud computing infrastructure, and requires a joint report with the Department of Energy, within two years, assessing computing needs and forecasting improvements for hazardous weather and water events such as hurricanes, winter storms, floods, and wildfires.
The bill also requires NOAA to publish a 10-year strategic plan, within one year and updated every five years through 2035, detailing its computing and data-management needs, workforce requirements, and technology use, with public input and annual congressional briefings through 2030.
The bill primarily affects NOAA, the Department of Energy, and federal weather forecasting operations, with indirect effects on researchers, contractors, and the public who rely on weather forecasts. It was introduced June 25, 2025, and referred to the House Committees on Natural Resources and Science, Space, and Technology. It has not yet been voted on and would need committee and floor action in both chambers before becoming law.
