PROB30 is just a cover up to tell you they have no idea
TEMPOThe US forecasts are great compared to the mess you get in Europe.
I think they exaggerate N90 wx with the hopes that flights cancel.This. Also wtf with 1SM TSRA winds G45KT for four hours for the NY metros when it's not even close to any of that
Makes me think of some of those Canadian TAFs where you’ll see TEMPO, PROB30, PROB40, BECMG, and more all in the same span of 2-4 hours.The US forecasts are great compared to the mess you get in Europe.

To be fair, it doesn't really matter whether the TS is directly over N90 or way out by PIT blocking the routes....it will still be a several hundred minute GDP and rolling ground stops.I think they exaggerate N90 wx with the hopes that flights cancel.

The forecasts for King Salmon, AK have been remarkably wrong many days this summer: some days wildly missing the visibility, ceilings, and, most recently, the winds. And there’s a NWS forecasting office located there! If I had their number I’d call to tell them their dart board needs replacing.If you had a direct line to the forecast office for every airport and were allowed to call out forecasters on their TAFs without it affecting your job what would you tell the forecaster or ask them?
