Isopycnic Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 So, you treat you local mets like Priceline.com. Compare before you believe....

Actually depends on what day you look at the forecast if it is their forecast or whoever fills in for them. But it doesn't matter I am not going worry about what you think as nobody respects anything you say anyway so I won't be the first.

POWERSTROKE Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Van has had mix and 39 for a high next saturday since thursday.

But that's typical from them In my opinion it is not wise to forecast a Winter threat so far out especially when the model's have not been very reliable this season. Lanie, Eric, and even the NWS seem to be taking the safe route and in the end will probably be much closer to verifying. While I prefer Van Denton over the others, he needs to be careful because if you cry wolf too many times the public will start to loose faith. He has already done this a couple of times this season. It is always better to play it safe when you are in a position that has a huge public following. You would not belief how excited some of my Facebook friends are getting about the threat for snow next weekend. Several have been making comments and posts about it in the past couple of days. I have a feeling they are going to be disappointed in both the weather and Van come next Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tullioz Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I am not so sure taking the 60degree route for next weekend is the safe route either... No one is calling for that at this point, as everyone is saying upper 40's to low 50's depending on the source which is very reasonable this far out, however; if it ends up being in the 40's with rain, who would have been closer in the public's eye? All people will remember is the mention of snow and ice from Van and will not focus so much on the actual temperature. If two of your competitors call for rain several days in advance, and you call for mixed precipitation, the average viewer will consider the rain call as correct. If you do this too often, people will start taking your forecast less seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of yesterday morning both Chilton and Pope had 60 and 62 with sunshine. They changed last night. Whether it snows or not it don't take a rocket science to see that no model is showing 60 and wasn't on thursday or friday. The engineer for WXII is my wife's cousin and also goes to Church with me. He said this morning he didn't know what they are thinking. Playing it safe I can see but 60 and sunny? Come on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on I was only trying to point out that a forecaster who is in the public eye should not put Winter precipitation in a forecast 10 days out, especially in the South. to me that is just irresponsible. As for Lanie and Eric's forecast, you must have been confused, yesterday it only went out to next Friday in which a forecast of high of 60 is reasonable. The sunny part may have been a little off however, but the chance for rain on Friday doesn't look high at this point. By talking about snow or ice next weekend Van has done nothing but get people excited about something that has about a 10% chance of actually verifying. And that is being generous.
