Topic: Dr. Trey Cade Shares The Science Behind Forecasting And Why It Can’t Always Be Accurate.

Why isn’t the weather forecast always right? It’s a question older than aviation and can be a major frustration point for pilots. Dr. Trey Cade shares the science behind forecasting and why it can’t always be accurate. You’ll also learn how a meteorologist looks at teaching weather service products as go/no-go tools and be introduced to some lesser-known weather products that may be of great value to you and your students.
