It rained last night and this morning at my house, the skies are pretty much clear and they were calling for rain all day today.

I agree though, NBC 4 weather absolutely sucks!

I used to love NBC 4's weather. They seemed to get it right more than the other stations. But...what has happened? This Kim person is the worst! Looks like I will have to switch over to Doug Hill and Bob Ryan.

It's absolutely POURING up north of here. I drove back from Philly this afternoon and it was raining so hard on 95 thru DE and northeast MD that you could barely see the road, and it didn't stop until just north of Baltimore. It probably only missed us by 40 or 50 miles, can't really blame the forecasters. We got lucky.

Sure we can blame the forecasters. Everybody has a job to do, their job is to accurately forecast the weather. If they cannot do that then they should get a new job, and we should ridicule them until they do.

Yes, I'm sure that NBC4 management monitors FFX Underground closely and makes their decisions base on your posts (PS - In case you, dear reader, are a child or a moron, understand that this post is sarcastic and meant to lampoon KeepOnTruckin and his/her smugly self-important post).

It's all based on probability, and I seriously doubt they were forecasting a 100% chance of rain- they probably said showers were likely (and it actually did pour yesterday morning).

I'm sure people would be more pissed if they said it was likely to be bright and sunny and then it wound up raining a day.

The weather here varies greatly compared to San Diego.

The weather reports in San Diego were wrong all the time too.

Don't like the fairly new top weathercaster on channel 4. talks like a 1970's disc jockey and has a cheesey smile and lacks spontaneity

I know people who complained and wrote emails when Verizon decided to drop the weather and time numbers. Unbelieveable!
