The Funny Side of A Missed Forecast
Posted by Dan Satterfield
When you forecast this, and it misses you to the north, some folks get quite upset.
I made an appearance on our local talk show Delmarva Life last Friday with Mike Lichniak our weekend meteorologist, and we talked about the funny side of a missed forecast. Our morning meteorologist Brian Keane also chimed in with some of the messages from social media. I also talked about how we forecasters can communicate a difficult forecast in a better way. Note: Skip to about 20 secs into the clip for the start of our segment.
