Good Wednesday Evening everyone. Your friendly weather dude is not so friendly this evening after missing on the last snow forecast for some areas. I’m usually good for one a winter and let’s hope this is it.
Let’s breakdown the last snow and take a look ahead.
The Good:
– Pinpointing this storm from more than a week away as a major eastern U.S. winter storm.
– Verifying another winter storm threat as several areas did pick up 4″ or more inches.
– Calling for this low and precip shield to come farther west than the models were showing.
– The snow forecast for western and parts of central Ky.
The Bad:
– The snow forecast for southeastern Ky was beyond bad.
– The snow forecast for parts of central Ky was almost bad.
– Not being far enough west and north with the Tennessee low which allowed for just enough warm air to sneak in to keep the precip as rain longer than I thought.
– I gotta work on my rain to snow forecasting technique as this the third winter in a row where my biggest miss has come during such an event.
Find me another weather dude or dudette who is that open! ![]()
Time for the look ahead-lines…
– Snow showers and flurries will be possible later tonight into early Thursday. Not a big deal.
– A clipper moves in for Thursday night and Friday morning with a swath of light accumulating snows.
– Another clipper will pass us by just to the north late Saturday and may bring a snow shower or flurry.
– The first half of next week will offer up the next storm threat. That’s about all I can tell you about it right now. ![]()
– A major arctic attack is likely for much of the central and eastern half of the country for the middle and end of next week.
– Winter has a long way to go before it ends. ![]()
Thanks for all you guys do in keeping the weather community up to date with the weather across the state and even the surrounding states. Have a great evening and take care.

Great Job Chris…NO one is as good as you
Great Job Chris no one is as good as YOU
Chris, thanks for your time on this blog. I think one of the several things that make this blog outstanding is that you let us amateurs in on the “process”, on the models and the little things that go into your job. It makes it so much more interesting. The second thing that makes this blog outstanding is the give and take with the readers and you as well as each other. It is great to get to read a post from someone in Cynthiana, Mt. Sterling, Letcher County, Knox County and on and on. Keep up the great work. It is so appreciated.
Not a single person can get it 100% correct. U done great we still have snow in Rockcastle and I am happy.. can’t wait ti hear more on the next one, when will u be able to give us more of a sneek peek Chris? Than u for all u do u are wonderful
still not a bad forecast Chris. I ended up with a good 2 inches here. It sure is beautiful. But I would have liked more!
Anybody have any thoughts on the storm next week? Seeing a mix forecasted by all the TV stations.
Chris you are the best bar none. I know the weather has so many variables I don’t see how anyone really gets a 100% correct forecast Just keep on what your doing I know most everyone on this blog supports you 100%
You’re my number 1 weatherman….no questions asked! I don’t know about the rest….but I got plenty enough snow here on Lakeville to satisfy me!
This was a very tricky forecast to predict. Anybody that was possibly closer than you was just plain lucky! Thanks for all you do Chris. You are by far the only meteorologist I trust!
I love snow and can’t wait until we get the next BIG ONE. However, I will take a miss everytime just because your HONEST about it. That alone will keep me coming back. Furthermore, find me anyone in any profession that bats 100%. Not going to happen but I think your about as close as any in the weather field.
Bottom line is you nailed it perfect for my neck of the woods, and other than SE KY, this storm DID have a big impact on much of the state and caused a lot of travel headaches and school closings. As of a couple days ago local mets were downplaying this system or even saying it was going to be mostly rain with minimal snow. You got closer than anyone. Great job!
Shake it off Big Guy, don’t let the usual downers bother you 🙂 Now, tell us of the next Big One down the road!
Weather is unpredictable to a certain degree, no matter how good you are. Keep up the great work – thank you for not being afraid to share the process with us, and thanks for making it fun!
You’re still my #1 weather source for winter weather. Thanks for all you do. I know with your full time job and family you must be exhausted.
Thank you for the time you devote to this site Chris! You are the best around!
I think it was a job well done.We count on your forecast all the time.Glad you didn’t quiet get this one right.Here in Jenkins we did get about 2 inches of very wet snow,would have been bad had we gotten more.Thank you for keeping us informed.
So your wrong 5% of the time Not too shabby in my book. What kills me are a couple of people who claim to have nailed the forecast. No one nailed this one, only got lucky with some totals, but I bet they didn’t have the totals in Western KY correct. I hope one in particulars head can deflate safely after his chest pumping tirade today.
It’s all good. You called for the moisture to be this far west and at my house, you were .7 of a degree off. It was just barely above freezing at midnight. If the temp had kept falling like it had been doing, you would have been right on the money on snow accumulations. Your misses are still infinitely better than the best guesses of the rest.
u and jimmy c at WYMT are the best u both sucked it up and admitted u missed most of forcast, but its WINER and it like throwing darts LEGEND.
u get some rest now and maybe by mid feb there be another chance at a RAIN/SNW srtorm.
just went broke again on a horse bet, buit ate pork chops, mash taters,cown and a big onion im a winner on the day.
Chris,
We have come to expect a high degree of precision, based on your track record, but we don’t expect perfection. In nature, the chaos theory rules, one variable changes and everything becomes chaotic. No one can predict that!
My sophomore English students and I use the blog as part of our daily reading. These kids really struggle and it’s been hard to find something to motivate them, this blog has been a gold mine. So for them, and for myself, thank you.
Most mets focus on their own town and have trouble. You tackle the entire state and usually nail them all. Thanks for your time CB.
Chris, simply put, you are my source for information on weather. And this blog is a wonderful source of information from all of you that participate on it.
I don’t post often but I check this site several times daily. Several people ask me about what you are saying about the weather when we are expecting snow or summer storms. I have been following you since your blog at wkyt and really enjoy your enthusiasm and love for the weather. I wouldn’t even give it a thought if you missed something once in awhile as you are right on it so often. I am thankful that it missed us here in Williamsburg and I still have electric and can play on my laptop. Thanks so much for all the time and energy that you put into this weather site and blog Chris, you are so appreciated.
Chris we got about 2 inches here in morgan co you done a pretty good job beside you are still the best and don’t you think other wise.I’m just tired of wishing for a big storm because here in Ky and just don’t look possible…..
I think your forecast was great, CB. So what if you missed a few areas.
You were consistent about it going further west, and it did.
I appreciate what you do, and REALLY appreciate the fact
that you are a professional with a heart.
Chris-Thank you SO MUCH for the time and effort you put into this blog! I check it regularly becuase you are so REAL and RELIABLE! Thanks again!
Chris Bailey = True Professional
Keep up the great work!
You are awesome Chris and we all know it. This is about the only time in the past several years that you missed a forecast. But who got this booger right anyway? Exactly. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. Looking forward to tracking more snow events this season!
No worries Chris. Everyone missed the forecast. At least you were consistant with your forecast and didn’t change it multiple times yesterday, and still failed. Ready for the next storm and still have complete faith in you. Hopefully mother nature will give you a nice underhand toss down the middle instead of another one of Chapman’s curveballs.
Chris,
You will always be my number one source for weather. Yes, overall the snow did not add up to much but it was a major storm in that it causes a lot of headaches! Lexington had over 100 accidents with only 2 inches of snow. 2 cars crashed into snow plows, it was one crazy snow storm! Keep up the great work!
Wow CB don’t be so hard on yourself…
We all respect what you do and sometimes Mother Nature changes her mind…
Chris,, your “da bomb” haha. Gotta love it, you just gotta. Can i get a link to the weather chat? Blizz? chas?
hi again from the town of wayne, wva. i do not think i have to say to much, because most every one else on here has already spoken all of my words.
i now have twice the respect for you chris than i had before and i had a trmendous amount of respect for you before. you admitted you are or were wrong with the forecast today for some areas and you thought enough of the weather blog and all the bloggers to admit to it. no one is right 100% of the time and never will be.
certain mets. out there are claiming to have nailed the forecast on the button because they did not jump the gun on this storm, but they failed to mention at the number of storms they have missed this year and chris has gotten right.
wchs tv 8 out of charleston wva, you know who you are.
chris also blogs about the entire state of ky. and wva, not to mention some of ohio.
if you guys really want to help and educate the public with your so called weather blogs, become more dedicated to your own blog. enough said about that.
chris baileys 2 weather blogs is the best thing that has happened to this weather community since tony c. started at wsaz back in the 80s.
i could go on and on but i think i have said enough, but it really irks me when some “professionals” try to show up a real “professional”.
take a look at the comment section and that should tell you something. over 800 comments on the wsaz.com website for mr. bailey and i am sure just as many if not more for this website. that is not counting the hits from people just checking the blog for possible updates but do not leave any comments.
the track record speaks for it self. keep it up mr. bailey, you are the number 1 forecaster in my book, with tony c running a very close 2nd if not tied for first.
thank you for your time.
No worries Chris…You are still the best in the business! This blog has been my only weather source for years now, and I appreciate all you put into it. Winter just wouldn’t be nearly as exciting without this blog! Thanks for all you do!! 🙂
Well well, CB, your only human after all,eh? LOL. It takes a pretty wise man to recognize where he can further excel, and a big one to admit it to others.
As far as I’m concerned, you excelled greatly in my forecast ,where our local guys had it wrong….some admit it, some don’t… (but you know who you are, lol)
I would hope everyone who reads this blog would understand you don’t get compensated for this, and probably sacrifice lots of personal stuff to do it.. so its also safe to say NOBODY has a right to come on here to say you were off or got something wrong, its just plain classless and rude. I hope you continue this blog for a long time and not let those who can’t control their posts make you walk away from it.
While I understand you are human, I also think you are the best there is at what you do. I’ve lived in a lot of states and had to endure a lot of clueless mets who act like they don’t care if they get anything right or not, its just a job… but you clearly have your heart in your profession…. and I’m sure the majority of us here highly appreciate it. I know I do..
Keep up the good work. 🙂
I’m not here to simply add my admiration to the list, though you do have it. What really sets you apart is not that you’re right so often, but that when the weather deals you a curve, you don’t try to explain it away or ignore the miss. You step up and acknowledge an area where you want to get better. I don’t know of many meteorologists, or anyone else for that matter, who would say, “I got it wrong, it made me mad, I want to be better and I’m going to figure out how to do it better.”
As Mark Twain said (paraphrased), “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it.” Applied to you, I think we could say that a lot of people talk about what the weather’s going to do, but very few do what it takes to actually get it right!
So, kudos to Chris Bailey, not for getting it right or wrong, but for continuing to strive for being the best that he can be. Ultimately, it’s not about putting out a forecast, but about understanding and learning. That kind of passion and drive is truly inspiring.
And good job for all the other mets on here, because in sharing your expertise and passion with those of us who are more “armchair meteorologists,” you help us learn as well. So, thanks for that!

Chris is the most awesome weather dude around. Once I found out about his blog, I check it AT LEAST twice a day, even if it’s 95 and sunny. I love the way you put your personality into the forecast and how you handle things. Thanks a bunch for your hard work. And just for the record, I don’t even look at the other weather dudes around here. You are the BEST!!!!
does an arctic attack mean it will get reallllllllllly cold or that it will snow…….or both lol
Because of you Bailey My friends and family think I am a weatherman! I quote stuff like GFS, NAM, ERO models, and tracks of lows, and they think I know what I’m talking about. I have learned a great deal from this blog and others who blog here. I check this blog faithfully, even in the summer when there are only single digit posts. I have followed you from the time you were on wkyt and from the beginning of this blog. Thank you.
Thanks Chris for all the hard work & updates you do for the blog. I know none of the other weather dudes/dudettes puts a fraction of time into their blogs as you do. That itself makes you number 1.
You deserve a long nap, but not too long, gotta have info on next snow that’s a comin’…
Thanks again for all the work & updates.
Maybe you had your puter upside down & read it wrong bout the accumalations… but who cares, NOT ME!!!!
I agree, I won’t be looking anywhere else from now on… I mean, why??
same here bigred, my friends think it is awsome that i am able to predict the weather with such precision thanks to this blog and mr. bailey for using it as an eucational tool.
Chin up Chris! U rock!!!!
Black ice and a thin coating of snow on roads in Pulaski County. Drive with caution!!!
Thanks from Knox County!! At least we were prepared for the worst. I,for one. am HAPPY we managed to get a lot of rain instead of snow! You do a great service for us. My friends and I talk about this blog on facebook all the time. Keep it coming. Would love to watch you forecast weather again but we have lost touch. Can someone let us know where Chris Bailey can be seen? Thanks again!!!
“chest thumping?” Really? I didn’t see the news, please tell which Met!
Can someone tell me what an arctic attack is please?
Well well, CB, your only human after all,eh? LOL. It takes a pretty wise man to recognize where he can further excel, and a big one to admit it to others.

Keep up the good work. 🙂
diane, on my z channel 2 or 3 depending on the cable channel in wva. and sometimes on wsaz channel 3 or 4, again depending on the cable system in wva.
i do not know if knox co. carries either channel for the huntington, wva market. he also has a blog on wsaz.com
Thanks,Chris, for all of your hard work.I will still only read your forecasts because they are closer to what happens then anyone else’s. Weather is predictable, but sometimes the unpredictable happens. Thanks again for all you do!

If all these posts from your peeps don’t show you how much we appreciate you and your dedication to weather and your blog community…then we have an issue…lol
Thank you for all you do…I am also a blog stalker…
to jeremy, much below normal temps, usually for a prolonged period such as 2 or 3 days. sometimes it can come with a small snow fall, usually 1 to 3 inches and some times it can come after a major snow storm and last for as long as a week at a time.
usually the temps during the day will run in the teens in our part of the world during the day and run 0 to 10 above at night and sometimes a little lower if you can get a good snow pack with the cold.
this is not counting the wind chills.
Check my site for any questions, also if anyone has any pics of snow, i wouldnt mind them!
We are human, some are sane
We are human, quick to point blame
We are human, with our looks so vain
We are human, not one of us the same
We are human, everyone flawed
We are human, like a puzzle to be solved
We are human, how level is your ear
We are human, with some type of fear
We are human, perfection not near
We are human, ready to smear
We are human, let’s own up
We are human, so act like a grownup
We are human, it starts with you
We are human, don’t make anyone’s day blue
We are human, feelings or not
We are human, like it or not

moderation city. lets try again. jeremy, an arctic attack is air straight from the arctic, in other words very cold air. usually with snow but not always.
a little snow, 1 to 3 inches or a lot, (major snow storm) followed by very cold air. most attacks last for 2, 3, or 4 days but some bigger ones can last for a week at a time.
temps can run in the teens during the day and run close to 0 at night with a good snow pack and even go several degrees below 0 at night.
usually in our part of the world, it does not get much colder than what i mentioned above but it is possible.
uo north for example it can get as cold as 20 to 30 below 0 but thet is the exception rather than the rule around here.
DC is getting hammered right now. It iis such a heavy wet snow Jim Cantorie described it as mud falling from the sky. He has been ringing water out of the snow like it was a sponge full of water and it is snowing at about 2″ per hour. Why can’t we get snow like that here? (without the power outages)
moderation city!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4th try
some one tell jeremy about an arctic attack. it is impossible for me to get by moderation. i have tried 4 times.
We’ll let ya slide this time! lol Just kidding! Seriously, this was one wack storm ~ who did get it right? It was kinda fun watching it all play out. I don’t even watch my local weather guys and gals anymore, it’s like they’re living on a different planet! lol So ya didn’t get it exact, you’re still the coolest weather dude in my book : )
I like that you are honest about the mistake….I enjoy your blog and look forward to reading it. Thanks for the hard work!!!!
Brush it off! You are the best weather dude there is! We appreciate your hard work! Thanks Chris!
I think it is where the cold arctic air comes from Canada and it stays here for awhile.
Hey, Chris, you are the best–we’re all with you! Don’t forget, one of the main things you’re doing here is providing a place where we can follow all of these characters you bring together–that’s based on who you are, not if you’re accurate or not (which you are anyways!). GREAT JOB!!
First off, I cannot imagine putting the hours in that you do and I’m very proud to call you our friendly weather dude!! Stop beating yourself up and move on….you are simply the best around here and we all are behind you 100%! To err is human! Besides, we are in need of new tracking fodder lol….excited to hear you thoughts about the coming system but first get some much-needed rest 🙂
Chris is the best of the best! Looking ahead , here is the gfs one week from now. http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/gfs/18/images/gfs_pcp_168m.gif http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/gfs/18/images/gfs_pcp_174m.gif Gonna be another fun week watching this one.
My brother just called and said they’d already gotten 3 inches over the course of an hour or so (this was about an hour ago) and they’re saying they’ll get way more than they initially expected (he said they forcasted 4-7 as of late this afternoon) and I just saw they already had 7 or 8. — I’m jealous!
Not really though. It looks very dangerous. I know last time they had a big snow they lost power for a while.
This is the photo he sent last year when he was rubbing in the DC snow… let’s hope this year we get to send one back at him 😛

Hey Chris Bailey….I think you done good!! :)….I am happy with my 3 & 1/2 inches!! I still say you are THE BEST WEATHERMAN !!! 🙂
Hey Chris! You are the only guy I believe when it comes to weather! Don’t beat yourself up over one miss. Percentage wise you are kickin butt! I’m in London, we still got out of school, so no harm no foul! LOL
No Worries Chris. I’ve been here from back in the WKTY days and still trust you. When you go on air, you have to tell people what you KNOW. Here, you get to tell people what you THINK. Big difference. Plus, you (and everyone else that contributes) make this blog a classroom. NO ONE hits a home run at every at bat.
I live in southeastern Kentucky and your still my weatherman…keep up the good work.
Knee deep. Love it. Only in a snow drift in central KY.
Hey Chris
I am following you from Knoxville, TN and you still continue to predict better than anyone in my area. This was a tricky storm and you kept saying that. We had an event here about 3 weeks ago that you called as snow and our local folks called as a rain event. My husband had to come and pick me up from work with the 4WD. Keep up the fantastic work!
lol — Maybe in the Fayette mall parking lot if they plowed it all into one pile! We’ll have to wait until we at least get a decent sized, ya know, three-four inch snow again… lol.
And to think, all he had to do to get that photo last year was walk out his apartment door.
Le sigh.
How’d he get there without any foot tracks???

I don’t think anyone who did a forecast for the entire state will say they felt good between there forecast and what actually happened. Likely a lot of well didn;t do go here, alright there, missed this missed that. trickiest forecast of the winter.
Don’t tell that to the “Voice of Reason” LOL. 🙂
Good Job Chris — It’s tough but we appreciate your work and your forthrightness.
Now next week — If its not a thumper (that’s at least 8 inches) then I don’t want it. I am tired of missing school and my daughter beating me at board games.
Chris,I think I love you(but don’t tell your wife or my husband) lol you’re awesome!
Thanks for all your hard work Chris. I appreciate the time you put into the blog. I have followed you since your Lexington days and I believe you are the only weather person that loves snow. So of course all of us snow lovers follow you. One of these days central KY will get another big snow…..and we will all be following you as you forecast it.
Thanks again and get some rest before you have another storm to watch.
My nephew works for the power company in the DC area. He’ll be super busy tonight and tomorrow. I heard a couple of hours ago that they already had over 100,000 without power in the DC area.
It was snowing so fast it filled up his tracks. 🙂
How are you Patty?
I’m not going to disclose the name of the law enforcement agency that I work for, but your forecast is the only one that we use on a day-to-day basis. I can’t count the number of times that our communications center receives a NWS bulletin, then calls me to reference KYWeatherCenter for the “real” forecast!
You’re doing a great service to our community! Thanks for keeping us safe, so that we may do the same for others!
I’m reading all these posts about Chris being the best met around. Seriously, are there any others? 🙂 CB – the one and only source for weather in Kentucky and beyond.
I have friends in DC and last year they had to shovel their deck so it wouldn’t collapse. The snow pile from it reached the deck…at least 10ft high.
Okay… Now back to the awesomely stoked, snowboarding Endleswavz…
Dude. That was pretty mushy stuff but it had to be said! Bring on the snow!
lol — his foot track is actually to the right of him. His girlfriend (at the time/now my sister in law) laughed because she said he “high stepped” all the way over to get his photo taken as she stood at the bottom of their stairs (this was in their courtyard area) and then he high stepped right back to the steps and back into the apartment. And I always thought snow was supposed to be FUN! She said it was not a lot of fun to walk and they’d spent most of the night before taking turns going out to brush snow off the roof of their car.
Well I had a post… and straight to moderation! lol. In his wife’s words, he “high stepped” very carefully the whole way out there, and then right back inside… lol.
Ilove him and i told my husband.LOL
Hey Chris……. thank you for all you do for us weather lovers and the time and effort you put in to keep us informed. You are a real pro. In Major League Baseball if you can hit 300 you are a multi millionaire , well you are batting 950 and just like yours and our KY Wildcat Basketball team, you give it all you got and that’s plenty more than enough and we rank you right up there with The Big Blue, believe it or not !!!!!!
Oh no not another i have no fingernails left…..
Well well, CB, your only human after all,eh? LOL. It takes a pretty wise man to recognize where he can further excel, and a big one to admit it to others.
As far as I’m concerned, you excelled greatly in my forecast ,where our local guys had it wrong….some admit it, some don’t… (but you know who you are, lol)
I would hope everyone who reads this blog would understand you don’t get compensated for this, and probably sacrifice lots of personal stuff to do it.. so its also safe to say NOBODY has a right to come on here to say you were off or got something wrong, its just plain classless and rude. I hope you continue this blog for a long time and not let those who can’t control their posts make you walk away from it.
While I understand you are human, I also think you are the best there is at what you do. I’ve lived in a lot of states and had to endure a lot of clueless mets who act like they don’t care if they get anything right or not, its just a job… but you clearly have your heart in your profession…. and I’m sure the majority of us here highly appreciate it. I know I do..
Keep up the good work. 🙂
Chris,
I really appreciate you weather reports. I feel that they are the most reliable and are so helpful in planning for weather events. Thanks so much!
Carrot & stick . . .
Chris, you are an awesome forecaster.
Thank you for everything you do for us.
Oh and by the way, I’m glad S.E. KY didn’t get any more snow than we did. 🙂 We had enough to cause the Community and Technical College to be closed at 11:00 a.m. today. (Hazard)
It is fine snow in Mason Co.tonight and it is sticking. It doesn’t show up on radar, but it is putting it down.
I admire your honesty. You are awesome with the weather forecast and 99.9% of the time, you are right. Keep up the great job.
We are having light snow that is sticking in Mason Co. Interesting enough it doesn’t show up on radar.

Hey BUBBA from the Block
I read your post on the last page.
It’s hard to dispute history. I agree. But that being said, we have had 20 plus inches the past two years. The thirteen year history doesn’t back that up. Do tell?
Chris, a word about the just passed storm…..you rocked! I have people at work ask me what is coming, and I even have some who are now reading your blog on a daily basis. I get to work in the morning, and one of the first things I do is pull up your blog and read it.
No one is perfect, but doggone it, I think one miss is pretty close!
Have followed you since KYT and as long as I can find a blog you are doing, I will continue to do so! Now, get some rest, we have another “threat” possibility before long! 😉
Well well, CB, your only human after all,eh? LOL. It takes a pretty wise man to recognize where he can further excel, and a big one to admit it to others.
As far as I’m concerned, you excelled greatly in my forecast ,where our local guys had it wrong….some admit it, some don’t… (but you know who you are, lol)
I would hope everyone who reads this blog would understand you don’t get compensated for this, and probably s a c rifice lots of personal stuff to do it.. so its also safe to say NOBODY has a right to come on here to say you were off or got something wrong, its just plain class-less and rude. I hope you continue this blog for a long time and not let those who can’t control their posts make you walk away from it.
While I understand you are human, I also think you are the best there is at what you do. I’ve lived in a lot of states and had to endure a lot of clueless mets who act like they don’t care if they get anything right or not, its just a job… but you clearly have your heart in your profession…. and I’m sure the majority of us here highly appreciate it. I know I do..
Keep up the good work. 🙂

starting to look at things for next week
1. don’t think the euro is right with a lakes cutter to much arctic high pressure over the lakes.
2. still however enough room for a low track overhead then reforms a secondary off the east coast. this would be mainly a rain event with some mix.
3. the set-up could produce some freezing rain
4. still a few days before we can get a handle on things.
5. thinking a sloppy mix now for Tue-Wed.
I have never posted before, but I (and many, many of the people I work with) read this blog every day.
Chris, You did not miss the snow totals in McCreary…3 inches on the money. Enough to be beautiful and still keep electricity. 🙂
Well., looks like we are in for some fun this next week, hahahah. Regardless. Im happy to be done with the past system. Riddlesweather.com
Let me explain why I do not care for AccuWeather nor The Weather Channel… First W C is simply a network with NWS products dressed up a little. They are good during big events, however the current staff only wants “air-time” and speaking engagements. Commercials are beyond belief. People are getting pretty sick of hour long “shows” and then there is Mr. Weather himself J.C. It is time for both a 24/7 weather network as well as a NEW CNN to do 24/7 News without covering money, Hollywood, and politics.
Now A.W. who have 10,000 meteorologists (well not quite) which includes every college student in the college weather program. Work study students have always been taken advantage of by the owner of this “For Profit Corporation.” They have “some” great forecasters, but the vast majority are students, graphic people, and salesmen. For TV stations to “USE” their products which are 90% public owned NWS services they (a few years ago-I bought them) were $100,000.00 plus a large (thousands) charge for data. Data is owned by the Federal government or in other words “US”.
So that is the basis for my mental untruthfulness of both owners and organizations. Give credit where credit is do; NWS, NOAA, NASA, Forestry Department or again stuff owned by US.
Accuweather’s zone forecast says up to 40 degrees next week and 50s by the 6th. Their waving arm guys say, well it is not the same to say the least.
Most of the forecasters on my Internet/Facebook channels including Beau and Chris and many TV weathercasters work their asses off. To bad the WC and AW don’t. –Kerry Dean, NWA.
Mr. Bailey-
I just wanted to THANK you, for all that you do for the people here on this blog, and throughout not only the state of Kentucky, but WV and Ohio, also! It is really rare for someone to love their “paid job” as much as you love yours!! You are one of a kind!!
I wanted to thank you for this excellent read!! I definitely loved every little bit of it. I have you bookmarked your web site to check out the latest stuff you post.
Doesn’t matter to me if you were a little off or not. You are still a Godsend for me and my job. Also a great help keeping my family safe. You will always be my #1 source for weather info.
Chris you are the best weather dude! Bottom line. You might have missed this one, but honestly everyone did. It looked like a tough one to call.
