I often say we are living in a golden age of weather forecasts. A previous piece that I wrote in Forbes explores why people think weather forecasts are bad when they are actually pretty good. It is why a weather forecast discussion issued by a forecaster at the National Weather Service Office in Juneau, Alaska this week was so refreshing. To understand what I am talking about, I present to you the long-term analysis in the Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion by the National Weather Service, Alaska. The National Weather Service (NWS) offices issue Forecast Discussions to provide a summary of the meteorological logic and thinking behind weather forecasts that are issued.
