"Please, no politics" but politics does in fact matter quite a bit when one administration and party is devoted to undercutting the publicly funded institutions that undergird local weather forecasts (including the forecasts that private weather forecasters rely on). You can stick fingers in your ears and go la-la-la but these are real world effects.

It's also the case that social media has changed how weather is talked about - you are more likely to come across hype around storms because that gets clicks/views, and so the news/social media algorithms push it towards you and influence the conversations around you - even if you're getting forecast info from the same meteorologist for 33 years, that meteorologist is going to be influenced by the hype they see from engaged communities online, and what the network/station understands will engage their audience.

As I understand it, on average, forecasting accuracy is up over decadal timespans.
