Why do you persist with this 'forecasting' pretense?

You are looking at NWP output and you stumble on a potential hot, cold, wet or stormy spell and you flag it up - great leave it at that.

I've done it - we've all done it at some time trying to be the first one to post about it in the group, but drop the 'forecasting' malarkey, as far as I can see you are making a selection of what you see as the most realistic of the available models which is not forecasting.

But your forecasting would be very limited indeed if it wasn't for model output - remember William Foggitt he never would be doing with all the new fangled ideas!

Wasn't there an Ernie Macklin as well?
