Hello ... the LP reported on Saturday was off the northern coast of CA... the one shown this morning on the map is off the south coast... I am assuming a different one... how far ahead the model used in this case can forecast weather pattern? Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe low pressure area off the southern coast will move north to northwest and be off the north coast by late tomorrow and then move across the north state Wednesday. The model runs 4 times a day and forecasts for the next 16 days. However, the accuracy of the model is not that great after about day 7 to 9.
