Meteorologists are terrible at their jobs

They struggle getting weekly forecasts correct, yet we are supposed to believe these people will be right about what the weather and climate will be like 30-50 years from now.
Must be nice having job where you get paid to be wrong all the time. Sort of like the media and pollsters (sports, politics, etc).
I wish they had accuracy stats that change regularly.
"Hey, Chris Bailey on WKYT is still batting his lifetime .108 average. Tonight, I'm going with Tom Ackerman from WLEX who's hot right now averaging a .368....."

"WLEX has relegated Bill Meck to the minors. Meck's been struggling at .263 lately and executives thought it best to send him to Pikeville after he said that the drive home would be clear following the UK game......which turned out to instead have misty-rain. Bill Meck could not be found for comment."
That’s probably why Chris Bailey got sent to West Virginia for a while.
We wouldn't have this problem if we hadn't pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement, so I blame Trump.
Clearly the OP is a GAF since he has a problem with weatherwomen...MODS please perma-ban the OP.
Motor-boating is in the forecast.
This.
I went for a walk this morning after I looked at the hourly forecast which said 0% chance of rain. Well, I got rained on for 45 minutes.

If they’re all not very accurate, doesn’t that simply mean that meteorology is an inexact science, not that they all collectively are bad at their job?
WKYT is the absolute worst station. Tinny audio, tired anchors and from what I hear don’t pay their people shit.
I hope that station gets hit w a tsunami
They would never see it coming.
Wave 3 News, Kevin Harned has a saying "Kevin Called It." Not the best meteorologist. More like "Kevin F'N Missed it Again."
I know I pick which one to watch by what they look like. There are 2 good looking ones in Cincy, 2 ok ones, but then the rest are yuck!
In fact, I challenge anyone to find an uglier and weirder looking group of news/weather/sports casters than the local news channels in Cincinnati. The females and the males. It’s ridiculous.

If you get your weather from TV I just assume you’re a caveman. In Lexington TV weather is purely entertainment.
When it’s about to snow: watch Chris Bailey
When it’s about to storm: watch Bill Meck
When your remote batteries are dead: watch whoever is on the ABC station this week.

Only job I know where you can be wrong so often but still keep your job. Kinda like the folks in Washington.
Please, good sir! I have standards. Feet are gross.
I would, however, give her poop deck a good swabbin'.
KY forecast:
December-Marchch - cold, possibility of snow/ice. Look out window/door before leaving home
April-September - warm/hot, possibility of rain. Look up at the sky before leaving home.
October-November - warm/coolish, possibility of rain. Look out window/door before leaving home.
IMO

He goes to impellizerris a lot. One time I saw him and he said ok I’m gonna go home and watch some lightning haha he is an ok cat with me
Bad meteorologists need to all be shipped to San Diego. “Hey guess what, it’s going to be 80 degrees and sunny”
How about Siberia, hey it's going to be -10 with snow and 20 mph winds, they shouldn't be rewarded for their failure to predict.
