Analysis: Trump ridicules weather forecasters for getting it 'wrong the most' when they made a spot-on prediction
By Matthew Cappucci April 29 at 1:53 PM President Trump took a swing at meteorologists at a Wisconsin rally Saturday, calling out weather forecasters for a bad prediction. The only problem? The forecast was on the mark.
But the forecast wasn’t wrong. There was a storm, but hundreds of miles to the south. Wet snow blanketed southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, including Chicago. The system was not expected to hit northern Wisconsin.Green Bay was never under a winter storm warning, winter storm watch or even a winter weather advisory. The “big, big” snow totals the president referenced simply were never predicted by any commercial or government weather agency.
The calendar may say it is the end of April, but Winter may not be over yet. There is a chance of accumulating snow for central and east-central WI on Saturday. Higher chances are forecast to be down-state at this time. #wiwx pic.twitter.com/Krczw5GB1w The official total at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport was measured to be 0.0 inches — exactly as forecast. The last time it saw snow was April 13.
Meteorologists weren’t happy about being thrown under the bus. It’s one thing to be shamed for a bad forecast. It’s another to be called out for a really good one. He said he was disappointed to see meteorologists undermined and used as a political prop, writing: “I feel for our federal and private sector colleagues that forecast on our behalf.”
