THE PREDICTOR

... is a computer program several of the local weatherpeople use to forecast. I think it keeps the blame from them personally. These guys, including the predictor, cannot predict rain accurately. Time and time again they are wrong. They are lucky to predict daylight and dark and get that right.

I realize weather forecasting is an inexact science. But with my experience having lived in over 15 markets I have to say Austin has a weak tv crew.

Somewhere out there in radio and at the U, I believe, is Troy Kimmel, who did the weather when I programmed a radio station in Houston. I always thought he was among the best. The TV stations could use his expertise!
