Yesterday morning, they said a huge storm was moving in on So Cal. It was worse than the Christmas Day storm, which caused the fatal mudslides. By early evening, they said most of it would be offshore and we'd get as much as Christmas Day but not the predicted deluge. The storm has now passed and we got very little. Not what I would call a storm.
I don't understand how weather predeiction can be that unreliable. I understand that it's harder to predict CA weather than the East Coast weather. Weather moves west to east and there arre few weather observation stations on the Pacific Ocean. Once the storm has hit SF and is only a few hours away, you'd think by now, we'd have the ability to predict.
Keep in mind that they can't predict weather 12 hours out in time, but they think they have a handle on "global warming"
