It is always worth a look at least every few days to see what is coming. It is sometimes at odds with other data sources and its predictions, or projections about the future just 3 days ahead have been... unsupported by events. But more often than not it gives a good sense of things if you scan up and down from jetstreams to surface. It can be interesting to scan around the globe and find developing storms. the link above shows(?) an area between Australia and New Zealand with complex stuff happening between the surface and a big jetstream bulge.<br />But I would go and look at what the real weather scientists say before taking the EARTHSCHOOL animation tool at face value.<br />But it is a beautiful face!<br />izen.izenhttps://izenmeme.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
