To Forecast Or Not To Forecast, That Is The Question Hello! Since this is my first blog, let me tell you what I hope to do with this space. Most of the time, I will be writing about current weather and forecasting. If you want personal opinions about the big issues of the day, tune into my radio show on Sunday afternoons. It's called Weather Talk and it airs from 3:05 PM to 4PM on WCBM 680 AM. You can stream the audio at: http://www.weathertalkradio.com/. We talk about all kinds of stuff on the show, but here I plan to discuss forecasting. As a matter of fact, one of the things I learned on the show is that most of you out there really want to hear the technical stuff ! As I discuss computer models and things like that, I encourage you to post comments on what YOU think about the weather patterns. Most of the forecasting models that we use are easily found online. This can be allot of fun when there's a big snow storm on the horizon! One of my favorite models is the ECMWF. Most of you out there will be more familiar with the GFS, but I think the ECMWF is much better for long range forecasting. Again, that's just my opinion and I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts in the comments section. We'll get started with daily forecast discussions next week. Thanks for reading!  ¶ 8:21 PM
