Fnord 2,204 Posted June 20 I am not a weather nerd but follow local weather closely as it affects how I commute to work. I live about 90-100 miles from @easilyscan Is it just me, or have the forecasts been less reliable lately? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live about 90-100 miles from @easilyscan Is it just me, or have the forecasts been less reliable lately? Definitely less reliable imo. It seems they even have trouble forecasting simple things like will it be cloudy or clear tomorrow ? My theory is that the vast majority of meteorologists (those you see on your local television channel) now rely on computer models to make the forecasts for them. Cheaper for the local station to simply have the meteorologist present a model forecast, rather than paying them to put in hours analyzing data to make his/her own. The atmosphere is pretty much capped for the southern half of Minnesota today. The severe stuff will be in the northern half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 2,398 Posted June 20 We've been pretty lucky here in Iowa this year so far. I saw a recent graphic that showed every thunderstorm and tornado warning in the US and there was almost nothing in Iowa. All the surrounding states had them but not us. Very strange.
