Weather Service: We can't predict everything
but believe us, global warming is real!

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hurricane Irene was no mystery to forecasters. They knew where it was going. But what it would do when it got there was another matter.
Predicting a storm's strength still baffles meteorologists. Every giant step in figuring out the path highlights how little progress they've made on another crucial question: How strong?
Irene made landfall Saturday morning at Cape Lookout, N.C. - a bull's-eye in the field of weather forecasts. It hit where forecasters said it would and followed the track they had been warning about for days.
"People see that and assume we can predict everything," National Hurricane Center senior forecaster Richard Pasch said.

isn't the job of a weather man easy? You never have to be correct in your duties.

Re: Weather Service: We can't predict everything
The reason for this is because most rely on the models. Most need to look into "why" the model says that and see if the model is telling the truth such as placement of the initial trough and ridges upon initialization etc.

Sometimes you need to have a person spend an hour on a model and go over each 6-12 hour period of the model to figure out if the model is incorrect and if it is, can you "correct it" yourself in your head.

Most do not do that, they take the initial model and go from there.
