BINGO! on that. There's so few "old timer" weathermen around anymore (like Skip Waters in New Bern) that can interpret the models and then rely on their past experiences with the particular setup to issue a more realistic forecast. I'm good friends with the meteorologist that works for the State's Emergency Management division and even she tells me that she, by policy, has to regurgitate what the NWS and NHC are forecasting when she gives the Emerg. Mgt. folks guidance. Keep an eye out for the cute blonde that will likely be standing in the background beside Gov. Cooper today at his press conference on the weather.I too am curious. It looks like all the talking heads just regurgitate the “official” govt. forecast that relies on the GFS model, which others say isn’t reliable for these types of systems. It really seems like there is an over reliance on models instead of the good old comparison, trends, pattern analysis like the old timers did it.
