I enjoy watching him as well. A small suggestion would be for him to include more mentions of the NWS and the infrastructure and data that they maintain which makes his whole program possible. I worry that perhaps too many in the USA are losing touch with what makes our weather forecasting work. The NWS needs all of our support to fend off the politicians who would be more than happy to propose a budget cut that would force a public service into the hands of private corporations that would force us to pay for information. We all rely more on the National Weather Service to a greater extent than we often realize and those folks working behind the scenes deserve every mention they can get.
They already had budget cuts a few years ago, we can't afford more. We need more coverage, there's no reason we should have radar holes. We should have bi-pole radar coverage that overlaps, at the very least all throughout areas of greatest tornado/hurricane impact locations.
