Unless you live in the Pacific Northwest, where they routinely screw up winter storms. Thankfully we have a couple of very competent meteorologists to keep us informed when it's needed most, otherwise the winter disaster scenarios would be much worse than it already is.
- monkburger 3y agoAre you talking about the local NWS offices in the PNW? I always tell tech savvy people to look at the forecast discussion and not the infographics. For example, look at Spokane: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.657260000000065&lon=-117.41161999999997 https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.65726000000... Then select 'Forecast Discussion' and read the discussions. They are usually updated a few times a day at the minimum, but during active weather events they are generally updated every 3 to 4 hours with new information (more data from the 850mb layer, for example).
