Yes, weather is political. Tonight’s storms are what NOAA cuts look like in real time.

Bergen county resident of over 30 years. I wanted to come on here and relay how important it is to CHECK the weather in the next coming months. By check, I mean not only the hourly forecast, but the radar, potential risks, and come prepared in the case of severe storms- ESPECIALLY if you have kids -**because alerts are not going out**

Spring in NJ always brings crazy weather fluctuations, from snow to heat and everything in between, “In like a lion out like a lamb,”. I am a weather nerd myself, so I would say i'm a pretty cautious father when it comes to my 2 teenage kids, both athletes, and them both practicing and playing outside the majority of the year.

Tonight my son had an 8pm outdoor training practice (high school junior) under the lights here in Bergen County. I was keeping an eye on the weather - which had potential for rain in the next few hours starting around 10pm - Bergen was not listed in the thunderstorm watch.

While heading to pick him up I noticed it looked like it was going to rain but checked the app and was relieved there was no weather warning for thunderstorms. When I arrive at the field, within minutes it is down pouring and lightning. **No warnings on any weather app. Apple Weather, Weather Channel, Wunderground - silence. No sirens on the field. NOTHING.**

**Weather warnings don’t appear out of thin air. When budgets get cut, you lose accuracy, staffing, and warning times that can be the difference between life and death or serious injury. It’s 2026, and weather warnings were more accurate almost 10 years ago than they are today. 2019- 2023 warnings/alerts are now slipping through the cracks or not being issued all together**

So my reminder to all parents, even if the radar and app say no potential threat of severe weather, be prepared and stay vigilant. Go through safety plans with your kids. Stay safe and don’t forget to vote!
