I’ve been posting my onw weather instrument readings for the past few years but have always used the NWS for timing and impending storms. Now I know why they are wrong from time to time. Who knew any of this other than the NWS? This aarticle came from Boston.com today. It is by: David Epstein. He is a Professional Meteorologist and horticulturist   Lots of you know about or ask about the computer models we use to forecast. Let's do a quick primer about them.
