IBM tried with Watson based modeling on weather.com and it was a spectacular failure. Hopefully things have improved enough to beat traditional weather models, but I honestly don't know enough about this area to speculate. Classical modeling, I.E. non neural network models, have been iteratively improved on for decades by the brightest minds in weather science and are barely able to eek out something close to a 50% accuracy in forecast. About 5 years ago that was 10x better than the AI based modeling available, It would be cool to see some advancement here!
