Default Opps how many bad forecasts can you make?

You know one reason why probability forecasts have not been as high

profile here
on the TV as they are in the States ?


Another I feel, is simply the style of presentation, from that Chrissy girl
on ITV who looks like she's on E to the relaxed style of Rob M, the delivery
has always followed the same structure and few are willing to break the
mould. Same cliches, same presentation format, same linkage between screens.
One did, he then got snapped up in the States!

I'd love to see jet stream forecasts, looped satellite images and some
twangy probability-ometer (actually, leave that one to Metcheck ;-))

Saying this..... I mentioned it to friends the other day, their response?
Err no Andrew.... just tell us if it will rain or not! Can't please everyone
I guess ;-)
