I love our Hudson Valley Weather geeks. They are not professionals...they are two guys who love the weather and started doing this as a hobby. Now they have become the most popular “go to” guys for weather. They don’t forecast, per se, days in advance. They wait and study the models and then give their best guess 24 hours before it hits and will continue to advise/adjust as the system changes. I used to make fun them calling it “nowcasting” instead of forecasting, but it kind of makes sense. And they were spot on with the last two storms that we had where the TV weather people and other apps were wrong. Got give em props for that.
I like how they explained to me why the other apps keeps changing every few hours. They said those apps are usually hooked up to of the models so as the model changes, it automatically changes the forecast on the app. I didn’t know that and could never figure out why I would go to bed with one forecast and then wake up a few hours later to find it was different. Very interesting. I do love weather, lol.
