As meteorologists we always like to go back and see how a particular weather model forecasted a storm versus what actually was observed. Here’s a high-tech look at a model trying to outguess Hurricane Milton.
We meteorologists use numerous weather models. Our model of choice can be different with different parts of the country or different types of weather, like hurricanes. One model that is usually up in the favorites for a short-term storm forecast is the High Resolution Rapid Refresh Model (HRRR).
The data team at precip.ai did a comparison of the HRRR Model’s rain and wind forecast and the actual observations of the rain and wind after Hurricane Milton was over.
