re: Weather technology is becoming too good

I think it’s worth to have the conversation that local media can be way too obsessed with the weather and will hype events to a level that’s unnecessary for ratings. That starts a ripple effect to where local schools/organizations feel like they have to be too proactive.

In Alabama, 4/27/11 & Snowmageddon 2014 have created this narrative that every potential event has to be hyped up. Then the busts (which seems to happen more often than not) are a lot more noticeable than they used to be because now everyone has rearranged their day.
