First of all, I didn't see anywhere that marine forecasts would be eliminated and turned over to accuweather. Where did you read that? Secondly, public safety announcements were not just excluded, the whole idea was for them to get back to that basic function. My understanding is that the raw sensor data will be provided, as it is now, to the various weather providers. They don't make money just by passing though information. They actually provide a service of sensor data post processing, forecasting, and dissemination. If you have information to the contrary, please share it and the source of it, because I didn't come across what you are claiming in that article. Maybe I missed it????? Steve Brown -----Original Message----- ....... This data will still be freely available to AccuWeather, but you will be blocked from accessing it. ........ This is not being sold as a money saving measure. It will not affect our taxes. It just says that if during the course of predicting the next hurricane, the National Weather Service happens to notice that tomorrow is going to be a nice day, they can't tell us. They are still required to do the predicting, but they can only tell us what they learn if there is threatening weather approaching.
