Re: Meteorology vs. Psychology

I have been trying to set up a duel between Picard and Kirk for a while. The hangup is they can't agree on the holodeck to be used.

Granted, the GFS has been woefully too far east for too long, but it has been persistent. Part of me is wary of trying to nail something down while this is going on. The GFS has performed well at times, and in fact, has been too far WEST other times. I do agree with Joe B. on one thing in particular: The Carolinas are in for another heavy rain event, and the GFS has been persistent in trapping it to some degree, or at least slowing it down.

(edited part) The GFS's performance I am referring to is definitely not the recent set of storms, but over the last couple of years. I think most forecasters take RECENT biases in effect, until they are no longer valid
