If your're expecting a dry refreshing weekend with dews in the 50's, why would any met also put raindrops in there? Viewers aren't listening to what mets say. All they go by is what they see. People are visual

 

You don't really speak for most viewers. 99.999% of viewers don't spend their days trolling meteorologists on an internet message board when not at dance recitals.

He just makes it look like whatever he wants to. We know how his spinnnnnnnn works. 

 

As for the weekend still too early to eliminate rain from the forecast... don't want to flip flop on the forecast if everything slides back northwest on subsequent model runs. 

 

I could see some pop up stuff with the ULL nearby, but lets hope the front stays far enough offshore. Euro ensembles looked fairly dry.

All people remember of your forecasts are what you put down for numbers. You think they listen to what you say? Lol

 

I agree. Especially in the morning. That's why the "shower" icons over the weekend are tiny and there's sun/clouds on both days.

He seems to love to make fun if folks that have family activities to do with their kids. I wonder if he will ever have any children? Then he will understand

 

I only make fun of your dance recitals on sunny days. 

 

As for having kids... maybe. I'm in no rush... have lots of traveling to do before I think about that.

I wish there could be one day where i wake up,, make a couple posts about the weather and the pattern and just have them out there as my thoughts and opinions. Not questioned, or attacked or pigpiled by whatever conundrum of mets happen to be online at the time.

 

Maybe tomorrow will be that day

you should start with this one "historic July cold likely in the next 10 days"  that would grab everyone's attention.

Re: the clouds/rain drops and sun icons on long-range TV forecasts

People see the rain drops and say to themselves that it is going to rain this weekend. This is true, as the forecast icon shows that it might rain. Sure it might be a slim chance, but it could rain.

then they tell friends “I saw the forecast, and it is going to rain this weekend”. this is still somewhat true, there is a chance it could rain.

Then those friends tell other people “it is going to rain all weekend”.

 

then when it doesn’t rain at all, or if it is just a passing shower, they say to each other “so and so meteorologist sucks. He said it was going to rain all weekend”

 

you meteorologist guys don’t stand a chance with the non-weenie public.

I think you're confused about what conundrum means.

 

Regardless... there was no pig pile until you posted about a Euro run you didn't look at and posted about a torch next week when it looks seasonable.

Yeah it's a battle to be honest. People aren't watching with undivided attention. In the morning they're making breakfast, brushing their teeth, getting their kids up etc. So they may only grab a snippet or a quick look. It makes communicating the "story" more challenging but we try to do the best we can.

100% correct.   Most do not know that 95% of the day would be rain free...I hear it all the time from my friends/neighbors

I looked at the Euro and saw a hot pattern after about Tuesday. Certainly nothing seasonal or temperate but solid above and 90 plus for several days on the run

It looks warm but definitely not a torch. The Euro throws out +20 850s like candy this time of year... yet we struggle to +18 by Friday. That's no torchhhhh.
