This will likely have a serious impact on our weather.
I look out my window and see the weather every day. And, it is still true, Red sky in morning, sailors take warning - red sky at night, sailor’s delight. See it still works.
No real need for a gaggle of meteorologists ...
National Weather Service daily forecast data is almost exclusively generated, distributed and displayed automatically via four daily runs of their main forecasting model run on supercomputers in Asheville, NC ... pretty much all that is required are a few employees to oil the supercomputers and associated equipment and assure that the distribution software, websites and communications are functioning ...
example automatic forecast by entering city:
one can actually obtain a forecast for the one-square-mile grid square in which their home lies by clicking on the model map ...
example of grid point forecast by clicking on forecast map:
https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-105.07587075222017&lat=40.57787388581326
i’ve done this for my home [not the above example] and bookmarked the resulting link, which i can consult at will ... that way i don’t have to listen to the local TV weather-girl chirp in front of a bluescreen she can’t even see ...
Wonder if Brandon's 80,000 new agents were ever hired.
Lessee. It’s winter and clouding up with a southwest wind. Barometer’s dropping.
I wonder what’s going to happen.
Los Angeles burned down while the mayor decided to fly to Ghana for a presidential inauguration - with full staff, of course, paid for by taxpayers - despite warnings for days on end about “extreme fire danger” and “extreme winds” (a deadly combination.
She now claims “no one told her of the danger.”
Little old me, with my cell phone, received almost hourly alerts about the “extreme dangers,” including alerts coming all night - for days before the massive fires.
Never mind, the “head of the department of water and power” who makes $750,000/year and speaks broken English denies brush wasn’t cleared back and the local reservoir that was empty “wouldn’t have made a difference - 17 million gallons of water that was supposed to fight fires and years of ignoring massive amounts of dry brush on city/state property.
I have no respect for any of it - especially those, or any organization that continues to blame “climate change” for the massive fires (like the governor).
Grifter whining his graft is being shut down
“...such as those that improve the American weather model...”
Sheeshe!
Our local TV stations have a staff of meteorologist and sophisticated Doppler radars and compete to provide the latest weather data and warnings during storm season. NOAA might provide watches and warnings for large areas, but my local TV stations do a far better job of localized forecasting
Words to use more often:
‘Balderdash’ and ‘Tommyrot’ :)
Since when did people die if they didn’t hear a weather forecast?
Any shortcomings will be remedied by the focused application of sophisticated AI.
