Continued quiet and dry into the rest of the week. Active already in the tropical Pacific with not much going on in the Atlantic, at least not yet. All that and much more in tonight's WDEF News 12 exclusive video #weatherblog #WeatherOvertime.

Already 78 signers of the #e7465 petition to get #CarneyRestoreECCC ! Only need 500 to get it presented in Parliament with a response from Government but let's go for 1000!

I won't link it directly as it tends to crash the Parliament "www.ourcommons.ca” website which is counter productive :+)

So instead I'll encourage you to type that address in yourself and follow the directions in the pictures attached to sign the petition and restore Environment and Climate Change Canada!

I saw the NOAA is conducting a survey regarding NOAA Weather Radio to collect information that will be used in their modernization efforts of same.

Since Canada has shut their "Weatheradio" system down, I am glad that the NOAA is seeking to update this system rather than dismantle it.

It only took me a minute to reply. The survey closes in two days, don't put it off.

🇨🇦📡 WHEN GOVERNMENTS PULL THE PLUG — HAM RADIO PICKS UP THE MIC.
On March 16th, 2026, Canada permanently shut down Weatheradio Canada. 186 transmitter sites. 50 years of service. Gone overnight. Their replacement? A smartphone app.
But here’s the hard truth that no government app can fix.
When a tornado touches down in rural Manitoba — cell towers fail. When floodwaters sweep through Saskatchewan — power grids collapse. When wildfires cut off northern communities — the internet disappears. And in that exact moment of crisis, the WeatherCAN app becomes a useless black screen.
This is precisely where amateur radio operators step in.
Canadian hams are already organizing severe weather watching networks using IRLP — linking repeaters and stations across entire provinces to relay real-time storm information when every commercial system goes dark. No towers needed. No internet required. No subscription. No outage.
Just trained operators, reliable equipment, and an unwavering commitment to keeping communities informed and alive.
Radio Amateurs of Canada called this closure a serious public safety concern. We agree. Because history proves it every single time — hurricanes, floods, wildfires, earthquakes — ham radio operators are ALWAYS the last ones standing when infrastructure collapses.
When the grid fails — we don’t.

Just got this severe warning for wind. Our NOAA weather radio beeped a full ten seconds before any of my apps did.
