We're paying hundreds of meteorologists, in the employ of the Federal

I doubt you are paying hundreds of meterologists to do anything of the
sort. It's likely these warnings are automatically generated by a
computer when a certain threshold is reached. I know you don't like
government employees, but try visiting one of the forecasting sites -
you might be surprised about what they do and don't do.
