mahantango#1 Posted Saturday at 11:09 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:09 AM This should be concerning to all of us in Pa. and the rest of the country especially in severe weather situations. We might ridicule them at times, but when they break in a program to inform us of a tornado on the ground or flood warning that there is a needed to inform us all of a life or death situation. The reason for getting rid of tv station meteorologists is to save money. Just an FYI. The local media landscape is changing drastically and will continue to do so in the coming years. Many layoffs are to come, as smaller stations close down and local news becomes centralized to fewer locations. -Matthew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike law, the only thing needed here to give it a go is internet.

They know the climatology of the area there forecasting for. Most have been on a certain tv station for many years. IMO this is a bad move by the media giants that own these stations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted Saturday at 11:48 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:48 AM Canadians have reduced snowfall either due to a further north position (Rgem) or less qpf as the 6z GEM is more like 4-8" vs the 8-12" it had yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted Saturday at 11:54 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:54 AM Gfs and Euro closer for Tuesday. But not there yet. AI is a miss but has several hits the following week, better north. Of course, at that range, AI is hit or miss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I have yet to watch 1 local forecast since we bought the place in Fall 2019. Too bad for the Mets, but the way of the media world is podcasts, YouTube, TicToc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's everything nowadays, not just the news industry. Out in Phoenix, they have an fully operational fleet of autonomous taxi cabs that will take you wherever you want to go, and they're still working hard to perfect autonomous big rigs for the trucking industry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted Saturday at 12:44 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:44 PM Ukie ensembles have shifted north a bit from last run putting MDT in the center instead of mby. Canadians were fine by me for days even though being on the southern side. But with them taking the near inevitable north jog it'll be a problem if it continues. Not that they will definitely be right, but all modeling is starting a north shift a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there's this - Project 2025 also said the National Weather Service should become a “performance-based organization” held accountable for achieving specific results, even if the head of the agency must “deviate from government rules” to achieve those results. Sounds like they'll be breaking out the retroactive Sharpie on the GFS maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted Saturday at 12:46 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 12:46 PM Not at all, and nearly every time, I'm in a jackpot zone, which almost never happens.

Those are the 0z runs. 6z Rgem came north a bit and knocked me down to 4" and 6z GEM cut back on precip for all making it a 4-8" storm vs 8-12". So the inevitable north/last minute waiver has reached them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted Saturday at 01:03 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:03 PM Getting Back to the current storm… The 6z Euro had its best run yet by far for the LSV with 6 inches or more for MDT, York & Lancaster. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
