    America 250: Weathering the storm — from storm flags to satellites

    The article discusses the historical development of weather forecasting in the U.S., starting with Thomas Jefferson's creation of the Coast Survey to map coastlines and prevent maritime disasters. It highlights the establishment of the Weather Bureau in 1870 under the Department of War via the telegraph, later moved to the Department of Agriculture, and its role in saving lives and crops through storm warnings and agricultural forecasts.
