Some of it from the National Weather Service, but not all of it. And they would find another place to get it if they had to.
See , this is why our government is so bloated, mention getting rid of ANY agency and it's met with derision, even though everyone knows the agency is un needed
For God Sakes we literally still have a Bureau of Indian Affairs LOL

Do you actually know how the data is gathered, disseminated, and analyzed? Do you think forecasting, as precise or not as it may be is useless or at least dispensable?
BTW, this has 0 to do with the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

I think, scratch that I KNOW that private entities would fill the void if the National Weather Service was disbanded. And of course the Bureau of Indian Affairs has EVERYTHING to do with my post because it is one of a million examples we have of government waste.

Why would private companies step in? Ever notice how many 'models' there are for hurricanes are utilized?

Why do private companies step in and spend hours discussing the weather now?
See, everyone is small government until you bring up doing away with a government agency or program that they like
Pray tell where in the COTUS is the federal government taxed with providing weather alerts to anyone?

Where are the private companies doing what you say with weather? It's not the news weather forecasters you originally said.
I'm for small government, doing what private can't or is not incentivized to doing. Weather forecasting is one of those. It seems odd for a farmer not to care. Those living on the coasts, those whose living depends upon the seas, etc. care quite a bit.
