... interesting point: we might be able to start a 'forecast'

thread about 15 days beforehand.

... did anyone think that this was a good idea?

Yes. Despite my perhaps frivolous response. Though it probably makes
more sense only for the last 7-10 days given the fickleness of
weather.

.... I'll make a start this Monday (15 days away as the GFS comes into
range), but only in this newsgroup at first. As we get nearer, then I'll
cross post to uk.sci.astronomy: not going to try anything too fancy - at
least at first, just a general look at how the models are dealing with
things. If anyone else wants to pitch in, please do - it will be an
interesting forecasting exercise whatever the outcome.
(PS: I'll start a new thread ... something like: "Forecast discussion:
Venus transit 2004 Jun 08")

Martin.

... did anyone think that this was a good idea? Not much enthusiasm at
the time so I don't want to start off unless it would be useful to
anyone. It would just be a 'discussion' trying to give a broad idea of
cloudiness etc., and I would undertake to update at least once per day -
only from GFS in the early days, but bringing other models in nearer the
time.


Well I would be interested in it for one, cos I'm gonna be in charge of one
such observing event on the day! In fact, if it ain't too much trouble, an
email of it might be nice!
