Will Meteorologists Ever Be Able to Get it Right?

In my opinion, the best job on the planet to have is a meteorologist. It's the only job that I know of where you make a lot of money and your wrong 80% of the time and you still have job security.

Where I live we have three local channels where I will watch the news and all three weather people give you three different forecasts, and they're generally wrong. They can barely look out the window and tell you what's going on, and if that's not bad enough at the end of there forecast, they give us the 7 day forecast. They have the nerve to tell us what the weather is going to be like in the next 7 days when they can't tell us what is going to happen later in that day.

And not once have I heard any of them when they do the weather the next day say to us, "sorry for getting the forecast wrong". I know that predicting the weather is a hard thing to do and it's always changing but, if you can't tell us with any kind of accuracy what the weather is going to be like the next day, then why would they attempt to show us what the weather is going to be like in the next 7 days.

And every station claims that they have the most powerful radar around. Ours is bigger and better than yours. Bottom line is, no matter how big and strong they claim there radars are, they can't get the forecasts right.
