For the most part, my life isn't going to change as a result. I may schedule something and have it interrupted by weather, but in the end, so what. Given the variability of weather, I'm actually amazed how right they are (remember, an 80% chance of rain means a 20% chance it won't).

The only time it really matters is if something severe is happening. After 10 years in the midwest, tornado reporting mattered because it told you when to take shelter and could mean the difference between life and death. But that type of reporting is real time, you see what is going on, where it is going and the forecasts of where it is going are usually pretty solid.

What amazes me more is that given how bad those models that have so much data and history in them perform, how much people are willing to accept without question the results of models with far less data and far less validated history.
