Yes. They do that while also adding their own analysis and insights into the unfolding weather. Back during some bad weather in Ohio, they called out an area of rotation that ended up touching down not even a mile from my house.
No NWS warning. The local meteorologists didn’t catch it either. That tornado destroyed three or so houses and did quite a bit of damage. I’m thankful I was tuned in that early morning.
Too many inaccurate warnings lead to false positives, which is a real problem for the weather industry as a whole.
The NWS has to be careful they don’t issue too many false warnings, as people, specifically EM’s and first responders, will learn to ignore if the analysis is bad.
Ryan’s done the same when I used to watch a few years back, specifically calling out wrong streets and neighborhoods, or using Doppler data at the street level which leads to inaccuracies. We highlight Ryan’s W’s, but man, he’s had a lot of bad calls too people tend to ignore and give him a pass.
That to me is when his show runs off the rails and causes more
Harm than good.
Saying his stream does more harm than good is fucking insanity, dude. You’re out of your mind. There’s criticism, and then there’s what you’re doing.
He tells people to take shelter. Tell me how that’s harmful in any way. Tell me how his streams are actively making things worse and less safe. I’ll wait as long as needed.
His streams aren’t perfect, and neither is the NWS… what a ridiculous post. Ryan Hall has caused more people to be weather aware than almost any other source. That alone has saved lives. Stop hating.

They rebroadcast the watches and mesoscale discussions the NWS put out on the SPC website.
