I've been in California (Los Angeles) for the past six years and am moving back to Texas (Austin) next week for a year or so.
Anyway, just a quick question before all the January storms roll in!
Do you think meteorologists at the local NWS in Los Angeles might be worse at reading models than those in Texas or other states that see more storms? Because every single time there is a rain event out here, I read the discussions from the NWS office and read the forecast, and honestly, 90% of the time they're wrong, even as the event is unfolding. And I'm not one to criticize forecasters, but it seems rather odd to be wrong so often.
Anyone know of a possible reason? Maybe rain events are harder to predict/manage in SoCal?
