Should weather forecasters be held responsible for bad predictions?

Featured Replies

How are they allowed to be wrong so many times and still have a job. I mean who can't say there is a chance of rain, there is always a chance of rain. Or say it's going to be sunny today.

 

But they go from 2-3 inches of snow to no accumulation and blame it on the wind or something like that.

You want them suspended for a day or something? Last I saw was no snow till overnight so they aren't wrong yet. :idunno:

Give them a fine for making a bad prediction? lol

2-3, try 5-8 here with no snow.

I think they should be held responsible for over-hyping threats of bad weather to drive up their ratings and have people scurrying to their basements like lemmings.

Is this a serious thread?

And the one time they don't do that, and an F5 tornado destroys an unsuspecting town, you all will want their heads for that as well...

Pretty simple in my eyes. Better to be over prepared for Mother Nature than under prepared.

Common sense, IMO.

Weather forecasters suck. With the technology we have today we don't need them. My iPhone tells me all I need to know about the weather. It is incredibly accurate and is all I use to know what is going on. I don't pay attention to those guys anymore. All they do is make people call off school for no damn reason.

I think a lot of it is due to overreaction of viewers. I swear Bowling Green grocery stores run out of bread, milk, eggs, water, etc. every time some kind of severe weather is predicted.

And in their case it's ok to be wrong as long as they scare the bejeemies out of people.

 

Wal Mart and Kroger should help pay their salaries since they are the ones who benefit most from bad predictions.

Bread and Milk producers need to pay, that's who's making a killing!
