woodenboater Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I like watching the long range on Accuweather but the hourly on the Weather Network is useful as well. Doesn't really bother me if the forecasters are off as they're only going by models and projections. Look at the tornado in OK yesterday. Meterologists and chasers got caught in a nasty one because the tornado made an unexpected deviation from the projected path. Nature does what it wants, when it wants.

Rizzo Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I have a trip planned the same week. Glad to see I'm not the only one scouring the various weather predictors. I too have had a rollercoaster of emotions from "woo hoo" to "sigh"...often on the same day. Not sure why even bother looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I got a trip coming up in a few weeks. As long as I know the sun is going to rise and set, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipdouglas Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 It is worth noting that organizations like The Weather Channel have policy to ensure a "wet bias" in their prediction: http://www.forecastadvisor.com/blog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 For my area this week they were calling for rain Thursday & Friday. Then yesterday they changed it and said rain Friday & Saturday This morning it's changed again and now their saying rain for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday. May as well plan to work outside all weekend now as it'll probably be sunny & hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 They put numbers in computer programs and it generates maps etc... Everyone uses the same stuff called GFS or NAM maps, etc... There really isn't any individual person. You have to blame it on the computer programs....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think our weather is just getting more and more unpredictable. One extreme to the other. These winds are driving me nuts! Seems like non stop wind, no matter what the forcast. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
