Everyone watches the nightly news to prepare for the upcoming week’s weather. No matter how we prepare, the forecasts sometimes fall short of actual events.

Meteorologists have to take into account pressure systems, wind strength and direction, water vapor, temperature conditions at the ground and in the atmosphere, and much more.
