Full Version: NWS's silly forecast

With their track record so far this winter, why would they bother putting out a 'detailed' forecast like this instead of saying precip may change from rain to snow and back from time to time.  What are the chances of them being accurate with these predictions?  It's just silly:

Tuesday Night: Scattered rain showers before 10pm, then a chance of rain and snow showers between 10pm and midnight, then a chance of snow showers between midnight and 1am, then a chance of rain and snow showers between 1am and 3am, then a chance of snow showers after 3am. Cloudy, with a low around 28. West wind between 6 and 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Wednesday: Partly cloudy, with a high near 42. Northwest wind between 7 and 13 mph.

Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 24. West wind around 6 mph.

Thursday: A slight chance of snow showers before 11am, then a slight chance of rain and snow showers between 11am and noon, then a slight chance of rain showers after noon. Partly cloudy, with a high near 42. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

I saw that too.  It was like that this morning when I checked too.  Ridiculous.

Was that seriously their forecast?  Never saw anything like that - no way they could be accurate....

This is not the first time they did this.  There has been many times when I look at the Wantage forcast and they throw out a crazy forcast like you posted.  More times than none I use the forcast for pike county PA for my area.  I feel the Wantage forcast is more acurate with Pike county then the sussex one.
