The National Weather Service (NWS) is on high-alert and both federal as well as state law enforcement agencies are investigating recent threats made against weather radar facilities operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The threats are said to have been made by a group calling themselves Veterans on Patrol, described as an anti-government militia located in Arizona and led by self-proclaimed Christian nationalist and conspiracy theorist Michael “Lewis Arthur” Meyer, who believes that the NWS’s Doppler weather radar systems are being used as a “weather weapon” against people in the United States. The milita has since sent threats to several radar sites across the country, while publicly encouraging attacks against the facilities; NOAA officials have also received internal warnings about the group advocating for “penetration drills” to identify weaknesses at the radar sites, with the goal of ultimately destroying them and harming staff members of the NWS.
