I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
In Kazoo was a guest of 49MPH I thought it should have been a wind advisory.

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
I used to enjoy watching Paul Gross, because he’s quite sharp in his knowledge of weather. But he seems to go for the theatrics as of late. You better believe if the wind gusts are predicted to hit 35 mph, he’ll be saying could be in excess of 50 mph; and of course ‘(the winds) will be waking you up tonight’, and ‘power outages coming,’ and ‘hazardous driving’….

Another week, another Wind Advisory!
Seems like the NWS tosses this out there very liberally these days.
Also, I’ve seen much increased use of the five-color storm warnings over the past few years.
Keeping us extra safe and informed, or keeping the weather news sensational? Hmmmmm….

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
My opinion ditch the marginal risk of 5% or less should just be a general thunderstorm. Slight, orange, moderate & high should just be 4 and not 5 in my opinion. NWS got it right taking Michigan out of slight risk socked in the clouds and rain most of the day.

They only said marginal risk for west of Ann Arbor.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 4:33 pm I think the wind advisory for tomorrow is definitely warranted. Multiple gusts approaching or exceeding 45 mph appear likely across much of the state.
The over hyping of marginal risk severe wx outlooks can be blamed on the attention whores who run TV newsrooms.
The wind advisory was certainly warranted.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
Agreed with the overhype of Wednesday’s storm risks. They correctly assessed the long duration wind events, but until midweek were still calling for mostly sunny days Th and Fr; and not the rain we received for a good part of today (Fr).MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 6:37 am Some of the TV folks spent way too much time discussing a severe t-storm risk that was minimal.
Completely agree regarding the wind advisory. NWS didn't do a great job forecasting the precise time window, but the winds were roaring mid & late afternoon yesterday. Metro Airport saw a gust of 58 mph around 6PM yesterday. The highest gust at my house was of similar intensity.
I still think that we’ve seen an inordinate amount of wind events since last November.
