The Next Big Announcement/Future of Forecasting

Hello everyone and welcoem back to the blog! I know I've had very few posts on here this year but you've got to understand that when several weather events are going on in such little time, it leaves you only enough room to send out rapid updates!

As you know I've been working on the next "big thing" in my journey as a weatehr forecaster. I have noticed how many of you tell me that your family will have you to look at my page for the weather. Not only am I flattered at this but I want to fix the problem to where my forecasts and updates can be seen out of social media.

What I'm doing now, I have already failed at once and hopefully I won't again. It's a very long process and it may feature a few trial runs to get the hang of it and make sure everything is just right on this. To access this you will only need a smart phone with the android market. If you haven't guessed yet I'm in the process of making an application for smartphones! The app name is "SE KY Weather" and it will be available free of cost! Make sure you tell friends and family as they will then be able to check weather updates on the go! I have no release date set so far as I'm having a rough time getting everything going. If I had to guess I would say it's about 25% ready to go.

I'm also making a few more plans in which it envolves getting a team together but those plans won't be put togther or released for quite a while. ;)

Anyways I wanted to let all of you know about the future of weather forecasting. NOAA/NWS will be getting a huge grant from the Government to upgrade all computer models that we use to forecast the weather. Currently the United States is way behind in forecasting and our computer models (GFS, NAM) are way behind as the European model kicks butt every time. By 2014 the upgrades will take place and the United States will be back ontop in the world of Weather Forecasting! Makes me happy and proud to be going into the weather field!

Have a great Thursday everyone and take care! :)
