Anyone else fed up with this weather? *NOW WITH BROKEN RECORDS*

I am more pissed when I see a 10 day forecast on Weather.com and think “Oh its supposed to be 75 and sunny all weekend and next week!” then as the weekend gets closer, I see that it no longer is supposed to be sunny and 70, but low 60’s and 60% chance of thunderstorms for the next 10 days.

On a side note, accuweather.com does seem to provide a more uplifting forcast than Weather.com for this weekend.

I stick with channel 4 four day forecast. weather channel for the current temps, prediction of the next few hours, and radar.

I like NOAA. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/buf/
More accurate than most, lots of updates, best up to date motion radar in the business.

If their forecast pans out your BBQ is going to be wet though.

So this begs the question, why are we having the wettest spring on record?

luckily i have no real summer toys this year.

Because you touch yourself.

I FEEL AS THOUGH I’M ENTITLED TO GOOD WEATHER.

Only when I think of, I touch myself.

I am entitled, dammit.

Fuck yeah we are. We live through WNY winters.

You’re just looking at the pictures and not reading the forecast :slight_smile:

Sunday: Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Partly sunny, with a high near 76. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

“Partly sunny, high near 76” actually defines the broad 12 hour period.

“60% chance” means that 60% of the time, given the the historical conditions / variables, rain will be happen. But it doesn’t define the quantity of rain. So seeing as the forecast also says “Partly sunny” the 60% applies only to a low quality of rain (if at all) like a quick passing shower (< 5min duration for example) and not a sustained rain event > 1 hour.

“Showers likely” is just a conditional because the “chance of precipitation” has gone over 50%.

If you’re going to look at just the pictures (and of course I was just assuming you did in my first sentence) Accuweather’s image tends to more accurately reflect what’s really going to happen that day:

I’d be willing to bet that Sunday is going to be a beautiful day :tup:

Josh change the thread title to what I have, for some reason it’s not letting me change the displayed title, only my edited first post title.

So basically Josh uses the Anchorman weather model. 50% of the time it’s sunny every time.

I use the mean girls method.

Yeah this weather sucks burt reynolds. I bought my boat 2 years ago in April and took it out right away. Last year I couldn’t wait for the ice boom to come out. This year I still haven’t even called about getting it out of storage. Maybe next week if I see at least 2 sunny days in a row in a forecast.

Mine will be in the water Saturday.

In your backyard?

:bigtup:

“there’s a 60% chance its already raining”

I should get this for the rain:

get that whole outfit :tup:
