Hurricane Hunters new base in Florida will be on (Lakeland)

Hurricane Hunter's base will move from MacDill Air Force base in Tampa to Lakeland on May 1.

Officials say they’re on schedule to open the new home base for the U.S. government’s “hurricane hunter” aircraft before the Atlantic hurricane season begins.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s planes are specially equipped to collect forecasting data as they fly in and around tropical storms and hurricanes. The agency’s aircraft are scheduled to move May 1 to Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Lakeland, Fla., from MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa.

What impact will this have on the missions, if any?
