no but I am shocked by how accurate the projections are now...if the predictions improve as much as they have over last 20-30 yrs who knows

No one fully understands cyclonic forces, and perhaps we may never will. Perhaps one day we will have quantum computing powerful enough to be more accurate, or very accurate at tracking hurricanes and, even more chaotically, tornadoes.

But by all means, let's blame the local weather guys for keeping us tied to the TVs for ratings.

tracking is way better than it was, even 10 years ago. Lemme guess: you get mad when they say we're going to get a storm, and then we don't.

There is too much money in it for the WEATHER CHANNEL....
They make it so dramatic and juicy! This is it how it will be for the foreseeable future.

Like many scientific endeavors, weather projection doesn't improve on a linear scale. There are large leaps forward followed by stagnation in improving the accuracy of projection. When the next leap forward will happen is unknown.
