Seems to me the models already do a really good job at identifying regions which are in the crosshairs for potentially disruptive weather several days in advance. I know we get upset because the models can't pinpoint banding and warm layers far in advance but for the purpose of emergency planning they are a fantastic tool that are always being improved.
Just got in from a walk and it got REAL chilly towards the end. Winds howling too, walking across Taft Bridge felt like tropical storm force gusts. Had trouble walking.
