  • I think young people probably aren’t even aware of how rapidly and dramatically weather forecasting has improved in the last couple of decades.

    The reason there used to be a lot of (lame) jokes about weathermen is because the forecast wasn’t much more useful than 50/50, at least when it came to precipitation. Temperature would usually get you a reasonable range.

    In the '90s, we are getting a general idea of the day’s weather, maybe. Now you can plan vacation packing around the forecast. It’s amazing.
