lab94 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 That's pretty ballsy to put that on a broadcast. I know they labeled it as model output and I'm sure the on-air met communicated likewise, but we all know people will look at those numbers and at least give it some level of credence. What's the value in that? What people have left out of this story is that they showed that then they showed the GFS with 2.6" and said this is the forcasting problem and cant give totals untill better agreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there much of an equivalence (in terms of accuracy / confidence) between the GFS and RPM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point they were making was the models were all over and could not make a snow forecast yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am19psu Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 RPM is a proprietary WSI model. It's probably roughly equivalent to the NAM. Trust the GFS and Euro over it this far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh ok that makes more sense. WSI being owned by NBC, I suspect the local station probably has a little pressure to get that graphic on-air.

snowlurker Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it was for. I remember him actually being a pretty decent poster up 'til that point.
