"However, today’s European model now tracks the low off the Southeast coast, more like how last night’s GFS model runs took the low to our south and gave us a cooler look for the storm." - taken from Wes' article today.

Oh my, is that a reference?

DT is just getting worse. Maybe he's been the same but I think he's getting worse. His big fat ego drives him to make specific forecasts way too far out. I would think any experienced met has enough sense to openly say there is uncertainty in every forecast past a 4-5 days and it's totally acceptable to include uncertainty. But not for DT for some reason. It's like he thinks he's smarter than the models and can forecast better or something. He's been eating his lr forecasts more often than Albert Haynesworth eating bacon cheeseburgers lately.

lol. Might as well reference any model that shows a snow storm. What's the JMA say?

Wes is one of, if not the most, reasoned mets here. He is not going to fawn all over one storm that is so far away. Why hype it when so many things still need to happen and it being so far away.

I'm sure we'll know soon enough. :popcorn:

Jma destroys us

Told ya.

He and one or two others are brilliant discussers of the synoptics necessary for snow in the mid atlantic but they are not good forecasters in general and are afflicted with switcharooitis.

He went warm for Dec in his LR, not sure how that is a fail.........

He's right for the wrong reasons though. Look at his analogs for Dec:

NH circulation is far different so far in Dec. Yea, it's warm but the whys are not the same as what he said.

And honestly, I don't even read his stuff anymore. I had to actually go in and read his winter forecast today.

My point isn't about the 3 month forecast though. Everybody gets those wrong more often than right when enso isn't a factor. Plenty of luck mixed in with the skill. It's the euro hugging and saying the GFS has it all wrong all the time. This makes him wrong 50% of the time. It's just a lot louder when he's right so it makes it seem more true than it actually is.

He's knows his stuff. No arguing that at all. His delivery and arrogance take it all away IMO. LIke Ian said earlier. Grading lr stuff is very mushy. I consider any forecast outside of 10 days lr too. Not just the full seasonal stuff. DT thinks he's a heck of a lot better than he actually is. And you can't take credit for being right when you are right for completely different reasons than what was outlined with the forecast.
