Spent the day doing some spot treatment for dry spots in the yard. Watered the yard because the rain chance went way down. Now it’s pouring. CSB.
Freaking meteorologists

I took 2 meteorology courses. While the science is extremely interesting, I wouldn't want to be an on air talent. WAY too many variables to get a forecast accurate and WAY too many people think it should be easy to get the weather right 4-5 days out when it's really, really hard to do.
They're right like 90% of the time. It's just when they're wrong, it's noticeable. Scott Foster syndrome?
LoL. Your 90% is a WAG, just like their forecasts. 🤣
Most of the time, people who are ripping on meteorologists are just demonstrating how poorly they understand the meaning of probability.
Stick to licking Desantis' butthole, that's about the only subject you can properly discuss.
LOL. Insults is all you've got. You can't even enjoy a funny thread. It must suck to be you.
The Omaha weatherman is a lying sack of shit and his “Ranby factor” can gfi
Yes, he’s wrong…..all the time

You're too much of a puppet to banter with. You missed the Scott Foster joke but since you don't watch basketball it's not a surprise.
Runk, hate to say it but this is a very Trad-ish thread.
Most people don’t understand when it’s 30% chance of rain - that doesn’t mean there a 30% chance of rain where you are but that 30% of the area will see rain that day.
My dad was a meteorologist on CV4. His advice: give ‘em a time, and give ‘em a place, but never the two together.
I’m not talking tomatoes butthead. 😂
Most accurate?
Weather forecast?
Economic forecast?
Political forecast?
Sports forecast?
None of the above?

They pedal fear for ratings.
I don’t recall hearing them say “chance for damaging wind and large hail in the next 48 hours”. Until recently. Like politics, gotta crank up the noise to 10 instantly.
It’s ridiculous.
Some liquid weed applications do say they are rain resistant after just an hour so don’t fret.

He did tell me about one situation where they had to launch planes on short notice, and the Captain thought his prediction as to winds was full of shit, and thereby ended up trying to launch F4Us with the wind at their back.
Wouldn't that still put you at 30% chance that yours is an area that will see rain?
