    Breezy has weather.gov as a provider but unfortunately in my area it’s also been very inaccurate. Gutting funding for NWS/NOAA (especially in regard to weather balloon launches) has had a devastating effect for my area’s forecasting. That, along with extreme weather getting more and more unpredictable, of course.

    The gutting of funding has impacted global forecasting models like the GFS.

      That’s unfortunate 🫤 The closest weather station to me is an hour away, so even getting a temperature can be problematic in my area. I would not have noticed a change over the last 14 months. Their modeling is still pretty good! Based, however, off historical data that, I assume, is already at least partially irrelevant.
