Want to check on Tropical Storm in Gulf, sorry NOAA website is down

A tropical storm is brewing in the western Caribbean, and is expected to strengthen as it heads toward the northern Gulf coast this weekend. It’s expected to be little more than a lot of rain for us.

But if you wanted to track it with the National Weather Service, you will find the NOAA website is down:

Due to the Federal government shutdown,
NOAA.gov and most associated web sites
are unavailable.

Only web sites necessary to protect lives
and property will be maintained.

See Weather.gov for critical weather
information or contact USA.gov for more
information about the shutdown.
