NOAA warns staff a militia group thinks its radars are 'weather weapons'

The article raises concerns about a group targeting NOAA's NEXRAD sites, which are essential for weather monitoring and emergency preparedness. The radar system aids in detecting severe weather conditions like thunderstorms and tornadoes to help protect communities. The group, Veterans on Patrol, aims to disrupt these systems likely out of fear of government control or misuse of technology. Notably, similar disruptions have led to mass layoffs at NOAA under the Trump administration due to budgetary concerns.
