    Doesn’t AccuWeather also depend on NOAA data? I was under the impression that they basically just parse the stuff that NOAA/NWS puts out and make people pay to have convenient access to it. Am I misremembering something?

        There it is. Yeah that tracks with the general Republican playbook. Sell off any and every part of government that business interests could even remotely squeeze money out of no matter how detrimental it would be for society.

      They get some, maybe most, of their info from NOAA, yes. I’m honestly not sure what AccuWeather’s plan would be if NOAA were to be killed. They seem to have one given that they’re one of the groups behind the push to privatize NOAA’s work.
