Disagree. NOAA weather reports are basically perfect. You know shit's getting real when the report isn't boring to read. They do a great job of putting little personal touches on them, without letting it get out of hand or get in the way of providing information—which is precisely what professional writing ought to look like, in many cases. This makes them far more useful to a layperson than a bland recitation of facts would be, since it provides context that might otherwise be absent or harder for a non-expert to appreciate. When it comes time for actual warnings they keep them to-the-point but also don't pull punches or dance around the seriousness of their assessments—nor do they hype them without cause, generally. I've wondered for a while how NOAA reports are allowed to be so good when you'd think the march of bureaucracy and bureaucracy-fans and liability/anti-responsibility pants-wetters taking the humanity and personality (except wholly fake and brand-conscious "personality") out of everything would have gotten to them by now. Please don't encourage that :-(
