  I appreciate that the work is very hard, but can anyone tell me why weather.gov continues to be a terrible product? The answer isn’t “because there are commercial sites where people can get the same information.” The home page has three “here’s how not to die” product features—this is public health education stuff that needs to be taught—and all of them are in tiny text on mobile.
