The national weather forecasting systems are out of date and out of step with the general populations need for utilization.
Most of the instrumentation used for drawing data to make forecasting today comes from the airport and NORAD sites.
Early aviation and wartime efforts have made it possible to build a world class system of unified weather tracking equipment, however the positioning and the dispersion of all this equipment are poorly suited to provide accurate weather forecasting for the general public.
Furthermore! The Nationalization of weather forecasting has been poorly suited to give accurate and timely forecasting to many areas due to regionalizing of forecasting departments and generalized forecasting.
Many cities have grown to such size that one forecast for the entire city is inefficient to give accuracy to the microclimates, changes in landscape, and weather flow to each distinct areas of the city.
As an example: Citys now encompasses sections with forest, mountain, and other leading or trailing sides of weather transitioning features.
Often a generalized forecast will omit the variations and leave forecast in error by omitting these new or larger areas that show different resolve to weather systems.
Weather forecasting in general, from the respective of large, corporate, or national view, need to reevaluate how they issue the forecasts. They should consider handing off there analysis to local forecasters to evaluate their forecast based on their local variations.
New forecasting models need to be considered that encompass sectionalized areas based on the way weather patterns affect each local area.
It might be best to leave large area forecasting to the standard national and regional weather forecasting units, but to hand down the local forecasting to individual small companies and
stations to provide the in-depth look at the weather for each individual area.
One of the larges changes that has occurred in the past 20 years is the proliferation of home based weather stations as well as individualized business related weather stations. They all have the ability to be viewed by most of the population due to the advent of the Internet and interconnectivity of weather data gathering devices.
There is no longer the necessity to turn to the national and regional weather companies to find out what is happening across the nation or the world for both lands and oceans
Perhaps it is time for most towns and cities, sparsely populated areas and other areas with variations in weather patterns to reassess taking back the job of forecasting for those areas.
