The Weather and the People Who Forecast It
Punxsutawney Phil: 6 more weeks of winter
While I understand fully that meteorology is not an exact science, I am, nonetheless, amazed by the inaccuracy that is presented us by weather forecasters. Here is an excellent example: Laura shall leave Thursday for Tucson, AZ. I have been checking the weather predictions from various sources in order to determine what she might reasonably expect to encounter there during her stay. For several days, weather forecasts showed sunshine on Thursday and Sunday and rain on Friday, Saturday, and Monday. Yesterday, forecasts had changed and predicted rain throughout the week and into next week. This morning, however, forecasts call for sunshine from Thursday through Monday. The same weather forecasts show rain for Corning throughout the week. It is currently, however, sunny and dry. Whatever is one to think?
