FOLKS… this is a new product. Many of you have told me that while you love the maps and discussion you want a clear forecast that was easy to read and follow. Well here ya Go. I am looking for ways to improve this new format so there may be some additional changes coming up. FEED BACK is desired…. post it down below in the comments sections.
If you are running a weather sensitive Business such as a Propane or Energy… Ski resorts… landscapping or construction and new detailed 2 and 3 week forecast you should try VA BUSINESS Newsletter . This is a paid subscription service. If you are interested send me an Email at [email protected] or at facebook.com/ wxrisk
The forecast and discussion you are about to read is MY forecast. It is NOT in anyway connected to any TV station in VA or The Weather Channel (TWC) or NWS. The Focus of this forecast is to provide YOU… with reliable accurate 2 weeks Forecast. What you will NOT see is a temperatures forecast with a Max and Min temp and a Cute little raindrop or snowflake. There are several sites on the internet where you an get that sort of thing but the truth is when you see a forecast with exact temperatures for 8 days or 11 days from now what you are really looking at is Computer generated product. The Truth is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to accurately forecast temperatures past 6 days. So I am going to do things a little differently here.
