2024 Tropical Weather Thread

[jayd265]

Rain is a big deal when the locals live in a bowl. Frankly without devastating hurricanes to report on, the Weather Channel is getting desperate for a story to run. Since we are very close to the peak of the season, those reporters expected a lot more action at this time of the year.

I, along with everyone else, expected a huge year of hurricanes. I agree with you. Weather channel is desperate for some weather news so they can let their diva personalities roam free.

The fake news by the Weather Channel is well documented, and they are the primary reason why people around the country believe that every tropical system that comes near is an absolute killer.

Expecting them to revise their numbers soon. But you gotta ask, at what point does a prediction no longer become a prediction and just stating what has already happened. Because revising a prediction isn't a prediction at all.

idk why they even attempt to "predict" the season. once a storm develops theres still no 100% way to determine where its going. lets just say "its hurricane season"

Oh, but they always helpfully tell us not to stand outside like the cameraman and reporter are cos "they're professionals". "Professional idiots" I always yell back. Standing outside with a microphone isn't some kind of magical shield from flying debris.

So at work we have the same issue as the NWS. There are so many socialmeteorologists providing the clickbait/viewbait sensationalized weather that we have to make sure our leadership isn't getting baited into making decisions on it. It's ridiculous.
