Here's one of the key meteorological forecasts used by the "consumer" web sites and by the National Weather Service:
Obviously, it contains a great deal of information, but precipitation is the bottom bar chart. Bars show inches of rain in the prior 6-hour period. Dates are GMT (I'm almost positive), so if you see June 11th, it's really ~7pm on June 10th (or rain from 1-7 on June 10). Also shows things like temperature, relative humidity, etc. that are useful. This chart should continue to automatically update at least once a day, and I'll include a closer-in view once we get in the window. There is a longer range version here: grads.iges.org/pix/bnagfsb.png but we will soon be "inside" of it. An explanation of all parameters can be found on: grads.iges.org/pix/meteogram.html, and their overall city index is: grads.iges.org/pix/quicklook.html. Keep your fingers crossed...
I've always found them to be pretty darn accurate, but as it's been said many a time, it's still too early to make a really accurate prediction. Anyway, they've got a forecast through Friday, 10 June up and it goes:
Wednesday Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s.
Wednesday Night Partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 60s.
Thursday Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s.
Thursday Night Partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 60s.
Friday Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s.
In the South, a forecast like that means a pretty average, nice summer day.
Hey, it's ALL short-term to me at this point. From the NWS:
COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPS SOUTH BUT LOOKS TO REMAIN IN THE OH VLY IN THE EXTENDED MODELS. UPPER LOW SOUTH KEEPS MORE MOISTURE AND HIGHER RAIN CHANCE THERE. MIDDLE TENNESSEE APPEARS BETWEEN SYSTEMS NEXT WEEK...BUT AFTERNOON WARMTH AND HIGH DEWPOINTS KEEP A CHANCE OF LATE DAY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
