When it rains ...

Different areas of the country are harder/easier to forecast. We are so close to the gulf it's makes forecasting a lot harder. A lot of different variables when dealing with warm water and the coast as opposed to just over a landmass.

Storming on and off in New Iberia. Rains for 10 minutes then sunshine for 15-20 min. The weather doesn't know what the weather is gonna do. How does a Weatherguesser?

A Weatherman is the only job I can think of where you can screw up everyday and have job security. There is no accountability and no apologies for poor forecasts that can screw up plans and activities.

They don't "screw up everyday" and they should not have to apologize. They work on probabilities and they work with what they have. There is a lot of information still missing in the models and unless someone comes up with some crazy new advances in mathematics or statistical mechanics, these rough probabilities are the best we can do. They are trying to predict the future.

If you want to blame someone for screwing up plans then blame mother nature/God.

I do subscribe to the "meteorology has the lowest turnover rate" logic, however living in Houston, I can say they nailed this current storm correctly. If this crap keeps up, I am going to get a canoe, just in case...

It's been brutal,

I've always said I want to be a weatherman in Vegas when I retire. Throw in a 10% chance of rain just to make sure I'm covered...

don't think games will be on time today if at all completed, that systems in the gulf looks slow moving!

How long will they wait before deciding whether or not to start game one on time?

Looks like the weather guys nailed it.
