“With the wind chill, it's forecast to be that way Monday, so we kind of got our fingers crossed.”
John Graham
“We were criticized by the seasonal forecasters for not including the other environmental factors, like wind shear, in our analysis. [We didn't do so] because on time scales longer than 2-3 years, these do not seem to matter very much. This paper more or less proves this point.”
Kerry Emanuel
“The forecasting comparisons for soybeans were somewhat sensitive to the measure of forecast accuracy considered. One measure showed that private market forecasts were more accurate than USDA forecasts for August regardless of the time period considered. Another measure showed just the opposite.”
Darrel Good
“The Wind and Drano forecasts for 2006 are nearly double and over triple the 2005 actual returns, respectively. The Little White Salmon [forecast] is especially strong.”
Joe Hymer
“The latest model based on the forecast track would have 60 mile-an-hour winds as far north as Lexington, across to Kemper County, and over into almost the Arkansas border.”
Jim Butch
“One or more of the (forecast) models bring it on shore (along) the Georgia-South Carolina border with winds of, perhaps, 50 miles an hour.”
Jerry Jarrell
“(Forecasters are) talking about winds increasing to as high as 100 mph, in gusts and out over the water.”
