Despite major technological advances and supercomputers, forecasting the weather is still a tricky, and ever changing business. Knowing the weather is important in so many ways. It affect how we dress, where we go, and even if we go. Space launches are made or delayed depending upon the weather. And, knowing the weather can save lives.
