One of the things they talked about at the National Weather Center tour was the goal to get weather warnings like we have for the rest of the country. Much of our coverage is by the local TV stations, and one station has a more advanced system than the National Weather Service has because the federal budget does not care much about weather unless there is a big storm and people die. Then it gets attention for a short while, and the politicians forget.
With three TV stations fighting for ratings we have real meteorologist as the TV weather staff. Even most of the storm chasers are actual degreed meteorologists.
We often see coverage where they are shown and tracking a storm block by block. They give us exact times a storm will arrive in an area.
