Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a

* flood advisory for...
eastern Carroll County in northern Kentucky...
southern Boone County in northern Kentucky...
northern Grant County in northern Kentucky...
northwestern Owen County in northern Kentucky...
Gallatin County in northern Kentucky...

* until 645 PM EDT.

They never predict no rain. There's always at least a 10% chance so they can cover their asses. It's all a scam.

Tin foil hat much?

Weather forecasting is actually pretty good these days. The National Weather Service does a fine job overall. Most forecasting is the result of several weather models that are constantly being fed new readings. Forecasts can also be improved if you can feed them some local data (personal weather station, Kestrel data, etc.). They use that data to run a refined spot weather forecast. We use the Wilmington, OH and Charleston, WV offices a lot for Fire Weather forecasts and when responding to wildfires. They also do a very good job on river level forecasting. We’re lucky to have the NWS offices in our area, period.

Flood Warning, imagine that? I assume they are wrong again?

Yep, and we are morons if we listen to them. Lol(sarcasm)

That’s not a tornado Sally, just a circular funnel shaped cloud, just drive through it. Do not take cover, keep on driving. They are lying once again.

Meteorologists are scammers? So who's telling them what to forecast. And then how are they profiting?

They profit by getting gullible viewers. It's not that difficult to understand.

[Clayton_Wetter]

People watch the weather channels to see the radars and forecasts, period.

Chupp, that doesn't even make sense. Once you see something with your own eyes then it's a reality, not a forecast or prediction. Besides, they can't pinpoint where tornadoes are going to hit until they actually develop and touch down.

Of course, why else would they watch a weather channel? And even though they're wrong 9 out of 10 times people keep watching them.

You’re way out of your depth on this one. The National Weather Service is the chief meteorology service in the US. Most all local news weather forecasts are derived from the NWS. In select cases some local newspapers use forecasts from for profit entities such as Accuweather and The Weather Channel. Both of which derive their forecast info from, wait for it.......the free forecasts of NWS. The NWS does not receive profit, they just get funding from yearly government spending appropriations.

In other words, you’re wrong.

You mean right, 9 times out of 10???

Anymore the SPCC (Norman, OK)does a d@mn good job of predicting risk areas for tornado outbreaks. Watch and warning times have also improved greatly. Those guys save multiple lives every year. They’ve also consistently nailed the Fire Weather forecasting this year, especially for the Western Fire season. You’re way off on this one GearHead

I was being sarcastic. Doesn’t make sense just as your logic about the weather services doesn’t man. They are pretty close usually, plus I watch the radar.

My work depends on the weather, so at times I have been burnt by their forecast. But doesn’t mean we quit paying attention and keeping up with the weather as to not screw ourself.

Everyone is wrong sometimes. Something that involves dozens of constantly changing variables is not easy to predict. That said, the NWS does pretty good. I also work outside. A forecast and radar view largely determine what I get into each day.

Yes. Job I’m on now, some of the stuff we are doing is very dependent on the weather, and not getting roads muddy.

Florence will do all that it takes. No reason to think they won’t get at least a couple of these races in.
