Can We Really Predict the Weather?
The Latest in Forecasting
Last winter brought California’s five-year drought to an abrupt end with the second-wettest water year on record. Could we have forecasted that this would happen? No. Can we forecast if 2018 will be wet or dry? No.
Come to this half-day workshop sponsored by the California Department of Water Resources and the Association of California Water Agencies to find out what it will take to improve long-range precipitation forecasting.
Following opening remarks by DWR Director Grant Davis and ACWA Executive Director Tim Quinn, workshop speakers will describe the limitations of current forecasting ability, the improved science needed, and steps being taken to make better forecasting a higher priority.
