The Piers Corbyn of Accuweather. Sensationalist forecasting backed
with a good meteorological and physics background, but skewed by a
wish to be noticed. No published accuracy stats = barrow load of salt
territory.

I recall a summary of a devastating hurricane about forty years ago which
showed Accuweather got the forecast track completely wrong whereas the
other forecasting services were all quite accurate. The comment by my boss
was that Accuweather were a "one man and a dog outfit run from a shed at
the bottom of someone's garden". Whether this was true or not I have no
idea but I don't think he held them in high regard.

Things must have improved a lot there because this is what they say about
themselves on their web-site: "AccuWeather, established in 1962, is the
World's Weather Authority." I'm sure they're not being guilty of hyperbole
in saying that as one of their stated values is "Respect, honesty and
trust".
