Assessing the quality of seasonal
precipitation forecasts for the Malawi and Zambia area is challenging, particularly due to the limited number of forecasts used and the climatic conditions of the region.
The
latest precipitation forecast from NOAA's Hydrological prediction center shows that Irene could dump over eight inches of rain over coastal New England.»
Observational constraints, model parameterizations, and complex interactions between the model and the observations all affect the
subsequent precipitation forecast generated by the system.
The orb also displays real - time local water reserve levels and
precipitation forecasts so that users can see their water use in context.
AccuWeather offers a detailed minute - by -

Feedback from this office indicated that the 2:19 a.m. Suomi NPP SFR image (Figure 2) matched ground - based observations better than

Precipitation forecasts (projections?)
Precipitation forecasts are even worse.
Nature has a very detailed discussion of these «holes» in climate science (regional climate forecasts,
precipitation forecasts, aerosols and palaeoclimate data).
NOAA's
precipitation forecast for the next five days puts over five inches of rain on a very large stretch of real estate from the Mid-Atlantic up to northern Maine:
Nature has singled out four areas — regional climate forecasts,
precipitation forecasts, aerosols and palaeoclimate data — that some say deserve greater open discussion, both within scientific circles and in the public sphere.
Snow accumulation forecasts will be replaced by
precipitation forecasts.
Which is a bit strange considering a report from the European Environment Agency showing that temperatures in the Alps are increasing a twice rate of the global average with more droughts and greater seasonal variability in
precipitation forecast.
