NOAA and NWS > paid bullshit apps
Weather data should be freely available
I mean, it IS freely available. I'm pretty sure many (all?) of these paid apps get their data from NOAA and NWS.
For now. Remember that Project 2025 aims to dismantle both organizations and privitize the NWS's activities.

1000%, half the reason for this post is I wanted to share the NHC link in the text of the post as an alternative to these apps.
