All area weather forecasters suck!
Congrats on being off by a mile on two of three days this holiday weekend!!!
Saturday - forecast high in upper 70s to near 80. Actual: 87. Muggy.
Sunday - forecast was for a mix of sun and clouds and a scattered shower with highs in the low to mid 70s. Actual - across much of metro Detroit, the afternoon saw multiple hours of rain with temps in the 60s.
Monday - forecast was low 70s with a mostly cloudy afternoon. Actual- sunny morning with partly cloudy afternoon and temps in the mid 70s.
Today was the closest forecast of the three days, but overall they did a pretty crappy job.

Re: All area weather forecasters suck!
I should add - it was fun watching Dave Rexroth do his chicken little routine on 7's 6PM newscast this evening. The fact the station led with the storm threat (which is nothing to write home about for the vast majority of their viewing area) as its top story over Dan Gilbert is laughable.
The severe weather threat is pretty much along & south of I-80.

I blame the high-pressure front. Never can trust mother nature.
Reminds me of the time there was an earthquake in Italy, and they arrested the geologists.
Since our government is going fascist too maybe we can get these forecasters arrested.

Take it easy on Dave, MW. Remember, he's a fireworks safety advocate first and a meteorologist second.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2019 8:08 pmI should add - it was fun watching Dave Rexroth do his chicken little routine on 7's 6PM newscast this evening.

That’s what happens when you get far left Democrats- fascism.
Re: All area weather forecasters suck!
Ouch..... I’m sure that DR never meant to have the accident with the fireworks. However, the fact that we put that much “faith” in (any of) the weather guys/gals who is/are on the tv/radio is amazing.Matt wrote:Take it easy on Dave, MW.

(How many more slashes / can I get in this post- lol)
I think they all have more computer models nowadays and they are the persona of the station that just delivers what the weather supposedly will be.

I just want to know what that chick on WJBK is wearing on her ankle.

Maybe channel 4 should bring back that guy with the barking dog. I have forgotten his name.

Re: All area weather forecasters suck!
Some of the folks doing TV weather on-air in Detroit do not even have meteorology degrees, believe it or not.Maybe you can go get an atmospheric science degree and do better!!
The staff at WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids does it right. They take long-term climatological trends and knowledge of Michigan's quirky weather into account when making forecasts, especially long range forecasts.
Unlike the National Weather Service and their parrots at MLive and at TV stations across the state, the fine staff at News 8 in Grand Rapids correctly predicted a cooler than average spring.
