Storm this weekend...

[trophyhunt]

Careful now...let's not jinx it. Looking at NOAA's live weather stations there are gusts 60-70 on the coast right now and moving this way.

i sure hope your right, this is a huge disappointment right now!

Gusts starting here in S. King.  Let's see if it lives up to its hype.

The center of the low is just off cape flattery, the coast should be seeing some good gusts

We came back to town at noon and now I'm wondering why I listened to and trusted the weatherman(old dormmates) forecast after seeing him get blitzed all those times back in our college days. We've been Coug'd again.

I think they blew this one out of proportion. Windy on the ridge this pm but gusted to half of what they predicted. Hopefully see some deer movement in the am

No wind just light rain. 🤔

It's going to be like the boy who cried wolf.  When a big storm does finally show up, a bunch of people are going to get trapped in the woods or on the beaches or something.

These are the same Global Warming meatheads and if this proves anything it is that if they do know what the weather will be tomorrow, you simply cannot trust them.  I don't know if they deliberately pulled this crap for ratings and to sell advertising, or if they just blew it. 

My opinion is this was a bush league Al Capone's Vault.  It was nothing but hype.

If they predict a big storm and it doesn't happen, people bitch. If they don't give stern warnings and predict a big storm and it happens, people bitch. Some of you are comical. I'm just thankful that my friends on the wetside didn't have to deal with a big mess.

 Thanks Brother!

Hey they affect peoples lives a lot.  They didn't just miss a little they were way overblown!  Pun intended. lol.  Like a blizzard coming east and it blows 20mph with an inch of snow!  Irritating eh?

[lokidog]

Well, since they don't actually control the weather, like some believe...     these are simply predictions based on computer models of what storm systems have done in the past.  A butterfly farted in Vantage and this storm happened to stay a bit farther offshore than was predicted, crap happens.... 

[JDHasty]

Yes, the chance of a major storm warrants attention but the "storm of the century" hyperventilating was IMHO only done to keep people glued to their televisions.

I'd just love to hear them say, "sorry folks we screwed up again ", for once.

“Yes, our forecast did not turn out as predicted. We are not pleased about it either,” the weather service’s office posted on Facebook  Sunday morning.

They did.  I can't believe everyone is still grumbling about it.  Be thankful everything is okay and move on.
