Look, if I want weather I’ll just watch youtube storm chasers.
wisconsin has a system of sitting on your porch and putting cheese on your head like signal fires on the great wall.
Ooh, that blows
We don’t need no got damned commie weather stations telling us to shelter in place, thank you mr. trump!
is that map showing the entire noaa operating with only a single nexrad station?
Not quite, “sounding” means we capture vertical profile of atmosphere as a snapshot. This is usually done with weather balloons and bunch of sensors attached (temperature, moisture, etc). We have sounding stations in all state https://www.weather.gov/upperair/sounding. Data from these weather balloons are fed directly live into weather models as “truth” so the models can course correct and make better near future predictions. It depends on the station, but hourly soundings is generally common. The TV station weather lady was complaining that in her particular state (WI) there hasn’t been any sounding data today despite being under literal tornado warning right now.
As long as we have our weekly tornado siren-testing ritual, I’ll rest easy.
