...because SCIENCEā¢!
Not just the forecasts. In my area, we have egregiously erroneous *constant-update in real time* (TM) reports.
I mean temp in 80s with humidity of 29% (we are in drought) that says ‘feels like 131’, 20-degree deviations between current reports (most often wrong) and the hourly forecast (closer to correct) and maps showing total coverage of dark green for rain with no perceptible rainfall in the real world.
It’s been like this for 2 years or longer and NOAA is now a punchline.
