> Post the data and let me decide for myself NOAA has been posting the data, literally for years now [1], with forecast updates in near real-time[2]. Replacing their data products would be a non-trivial endeavor. Consider a scenario where someone needed to predict the dispersion of an airborne chemical after an accident, in real time, to coordinate evacuation routes. That is going to require rather precise and up to date modeled weather data - the kind that anyone can go get from NOAA right now. Sometimes the benefits of a system aren't apparent until we need it.
