1/3: POTUS Musk has NOAA next on their chopping block (save enough money for billionaire tax cuts).
Your local National Weather Service is the one who issues the severe weather WARNINGS that you see on tv, hear on the radio, and see/hear on the Internet. They also have storm spotters.

The TV weatherman does not issue official warnings. National Weather Services are 24/7. They not only do forecasting, but there is hydrology, fire weather, tropical/hurricanes, you name it. I can't imagine any cuts would be any good.
Do you want to go back to a time before Doppler radar? The Tornado Warning lead time decreased dramatically when doppler went nationwide during the 1990s.
As weather technology advances, so will the accuracy of forecasting and the crucial timeliness of Warnings issued to the public.
