MGorse Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think they are also down a person since Brittney Shipp left as well. There was a new woman on last weekend in place of Brittney, although I forget her name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Sheena is on vacation(Glenn ill) but couldn't they get one of the weekend people to fill in rather than ripping off Doug from DC? Besides Glenn and a select few (non weather) NBC10 sucks. Once Glenn retires I'm out for weather and news. The station in general is a mess. The only good thing they've done recently is finally shiet-can Renee Chanault after 6+ months "leave" because of her corrupt husband and possibly herself as well. She was horrible... Sheena is not on vacation, as she is on the early morning newscast for two weeks. I do not work there so not sure what is up, but with Glenn out due to an illness then why don't they just have Sheena cover his slot? Unless Bill Henley who does the early morning newscast is on vacation. Not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Bill Henley who does the early morning newscast is on vacation. Not sure. That's probably it then. I read somewhere Doug was there because of a pre-planned vacation. I assumed Sheena. Again though, why not get the weekend weather people to fill in and not a lead Met from another market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under "meet the team" in NBC10's weather section all they have listed are Glenn, Bill and Sheena. I never watch the local news on weekends so I wouldn't know... http://tinyurl.com/jugltl5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How 'bout Herb Clarke, Gene Crane or Wally Kennan? Growing up Herb Clark was the man. Jim O'Brian and him had such different personalities but got their point across regarding weather. *Looking at the NBC10 weather bios I was a tad shocked seeing Bill Henley has been there a year longer than Glenn. Bill (94') Glenn (95'). I would have thought Bill started around early 2000s. Time flies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Someone from NOAA was on a morning show with Al Roker last week. Al was showing the upgraded Euro reporting from England...in particular the run which clobbered the I95 corridor. He commented something about how accurate the Euro is and is now upgraded yada yada yada. Anyway, they went back to the studio to interview someone from NOAA and he said the USA has an upgraded model that is being tested and will be released soon that is even better and more accurate than the Euro. He didnt say which model. Is it safe to assume he was referencing the GFS para? Or is there another beta model under lock and key that will be put into the model rotation?

zenmsav6810 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 That is ridiculous. I know. I can't find the comment he made on facebook basically to this effect regarding his system. In my view, a forecast is a forecast. If you bust, you bust. If nail it as pronged then good. What I don't understand is how amateur and independent forecasters can basically get away with these multi-staged forecasts and not call it a bust even if the first forecast was never even close to correct.

MGorse Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 AccuWeather just recently extended their 45-day forecasts out to 90 days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2016/04/11/accuweather-extends-its-controversial-45-day-weather-forecasts-to-90-days/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenmsav6810 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Also the nws is eliminating all caps text in their alerts and reports. Should help readability.

bigtenfan Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 According to the accu weather 90 day forecast we(Trenton) get to July 10 without a 90 degree day. The highest that I saw was 85 on June 30. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a joke somewhat but since it favors my area I'll take it as exact science... ** Highest for me is 86 on 4/7 with the forecast ending 4/11.

Way too much to sort through!! Don't think that new feature will survive public opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
