NWS probably has their hands tied. AccuWeather on the other hand is run by bootlickers. They’re deep enough in that sphere that Trump tried to put the CEO in as the head of NOAA during his first term. They’ve tried unsuccessfully lobbying to restrict NWS’s free forecasting (the one we all pay for) because it was interfering with their business model. I’ll leave the sexual harassment problems as an exercise for the reader. These are shitheads who were shitheads long before this. Don’t use that service.

After discovering WeaWow, all other weather apps are inferior.
Nice! This looks so cool, I love their visualisations so far. This might even rival my love for windy com
My dream is for the Weawow project to continue for another 200 years, until we reach Type 1 on the Kardashev scale.
Because at the current level of human civilization, it is not possible to make 100% accurate weather forecasts, I believe that it is necessary to compare and consider many data sources.
But in 200 years there will be no more weather FORECASTS services, but 100% accurate weather PLANNING services.
Then we shall report the error.
So brave
America is full of cunts and cowards too afraid to stand up against a pedophile.
I have the power to vote, sign petitions, go to protests. I’m too poor to donate money. That is the extent of my power. Trillionaires run everything and have all the power, and guns. I stick to my liberal, socialist beliefs and do my best to help everyone I can. What is it you want me to do?
