Weather forecasting was one of the first uses of radio in the US.
Weather info was sent by government run stations which allowed real time
tracking of storms.

As I remember, the program was run through the Agricultural Department in
something like 1903.

They must have used spark gap transmitters and probably coherer receivers.
