Washington Post ^ | 10-22-2014 | Jason Samenow

Posted on 10/22/2014 3:01:51 PM PDT by Citizen Zed

Since at least Tuesday, satellite data – an important input to weather prediction models – has stopped flowing into the National Weather Service due to an apparent network outage.

At 1 p.m. today, the National Weather Service’s National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) issued the following statement warning the outage could impact forecast quality:

NCEP HAS NOT RECEIVED A FULL FEED OF SATELLITE DATA FOR INPUT INTO THE NUMERICAL MODELS SINCE 22/0000Z…POTENTIALLY IMPACTING THE MODEL FORECASTS.NESDIS AND NCEP ARE INVESTIGATING THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. ONCE THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED ANOTHER MESSAGE WILL FOLLOW.

Does this mean they will have to do it the old fashion way and read thermometers? It’s going to harder to fudge the data that way.

I think I see a balloon going up in the distance...

Y'all do know the Chinese have the capability to take our every weather satellite we have, right?

Even the satellites see through the “official” forecasters’ scams. They’re on strike!

No kidding! My job is VERY weather-dependent. They RARELY get it right.

And I’m supposed to believe them when they tell me Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change is MY fault?

Yep. Sure. Right. *SNORT*

The only weather forecasts I ever heard which were close to accurate were from the marine Vancouver, Canada station and Peggy’s marine broadcast up in Kodiak, AK. The rest are just wannabees.

We love U-verse. Mrs riverdawg and I opened up an expensive bottle of wine and toasted our good fortune the day we found out that U-verse was in our neighborhood and we could get rid of Charter cable.
