Then plunging temps in just hours.[/i] https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-weather-forecast-468639143.html "The record high for Chicago on Jan. 11 is 61 degrees, and while some parts could reach 57 or 58 degrees, the temperatures will come close but not break a record. With the warmer temperatures also comes a chance for rain across the area throughout the day on Thursday. Temperatures will then tank quickly into the 20s and even the teens by late evening, a fall of more than 30 degrees in just a few hours. A rain/snow mix could be possible late Thursday for the far south suburbs and northwest Indiana." [i] Seems a lot of states are experiencing this huge temperature drop today. All the way down in Texas even.[/i] http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2018/01/11/prepare-winter-weather/ "Winter weather is returning to North Texas on Thursday, and that could present problems for people who are not prepared. The morning is actually starting with mild temperatures and only a slight breeze. It does not feel like a day that might end with snow."

In 2017 we saw the most costly damage from weather the United States has ever seen. In the first weeks of 2018 we have seen blizzards and snow from Florida to Maine, 40 degree temperature swings and deadly flooding in California. The crazy, unpredictable weather is being felt and observed by Glp'ers from all over the world.
The goal of this thread is simply to observe, compare and contrast forecasts - to what really ends up happening. Meteorologists are wrong - ALOT. It would seem the weather has been getting harder to predict, and the storms are becoming intense. Here maybe we can piece together the puzzling weather of late. I've been wanting to create this thread for a while, because it baffles me how inaccurate forecasts have been in the past, and even more so as of recently! Here we can have a template of what was predicted, what really happened and maybe it'll help shed light on what we can expect in the future!
Feel free to post anything weather related. From links, to videos to your daily weather forecast and/or observations. The more data the better. I will give daily forecasts for a few cities including my current location. This should be interesting and fun. I'll try my hardest to update here on the regular. But i sure could use some help from you fine GLP weathertards.
