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.

Nope! Not in the least. Just some banter on here on OFC.

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.

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.

Same here !!! I am going on a weeks fishing trip in 2 weeks and rain or shine I'm fishin .... So I just prepare for both sides of the weather coin !!!! Bring shorts but prepare for snow !!!! And I'm all good bases covered !!!!

It is worth noting that organizations like The Weather Channel have policy to ensure a "wet bias" in their prediction:

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

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.

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.
