After announcing it would lose access to key weather satellite data, NOAA will retain access, the agency said in a statement.

The Navy will continue sharing data with NOAA from satellites that the service had planned to start phasing out on July 31.

The U.S. Department of Defense will now continue sharing key data collected by three weather satellites that help forecasters track hurricanes. Meteorologists and scientists had warned of risks to accurate and timely storm tracking without the information when officials made plans to stop providing it beyond the end of this month.
