The talking heads you see on TV or hear on radio have zero accountability.  They spew crap out their upper butt hole all the time and people listen to it as fact.  When was the last time these draft prognosticators lost their job due to their predictions?  Sorry to siderail this thing but it kinda hit a nerve.  Carry on.

I can tell you military weather forecasters are held accountable. Fail to issue a timely, accurate weather warning and you could be prosecuted for dereliction of duty, fined, confined, reduced in rank even thrown out of the service. Ive seen the pressure to get it right break service members into losing all composure and end up charged with insubordination. 

In 7 years at Luke's weather station,  i closed the airfield due to several weather related occasions. Low visibility, lightning, crosswinds... always envoking the wrath of squadron commanders. The colonels would march into the station with their ncoic in tow often getting in your way as you run from radar to comm machines, answering pilot calls. And breath down your neck threatening to have you arrested and breaking rocks at Leavenworth. All the while your spineless commander or 2nd science officer were looking for a place to hide or locking themselves in their office....

We did have 1 good defense in our toolbox to remember: Weather forecasting is an art not a science. 

Damned if you do Damned if you don't.
