I was doing the PTC, and one of the four pages I visited was Weather.
I noticed it had a forecast at the bottom that said "Rain starting in 73 minutes."
73 minutes later, it's raining...

Who needs a weatherman Paints!!

That is weird that it had it down to the exact minute. So now you do not have to watch the weather reports, just this. LOL

If you get the weather channel app it does that. You get notifications saying rain will begin at such and such a time. Most of the time it is right on. It isn't as scary as people want to get freaked out about. They have radar and can see how fast it is moving and the direction. They have your location if that is enabled on your phone and can see when the system will be at your location.

I agree, but I don't pay much attention. If I had to worry about what time it would start raining, I sure would not be living in Oregon.
-
Ok, that was very precise.

That is pretty neat isn't it? I have a weather app on my phone that I use numerous times every day. It has the hour by hour forecast and the temperature. Updates to the forecast are made as needed. I find it very accurate and reliable.

It is pretty neat. Also, a little unsettling, when you're not expecting it to be so precise.

I'm not freaking about it. It just surprised me, that it was so exact on the timing.

This is really amazing but I really like it

That was cool. I wish all weather reports could be that accurate all the time. It would be easier to plan events. It rained really bad on our sea world trip when it wasn't supposed to, but we still had a great time.

When you live in New Mexico and an app says it is going to rain in say 43 minutes, well it might look like rain, smell like rain and doesn't rain. You live in N.M. it is rarely right here. Now 25 miles away at the lake it is raining but not here.
-
Yes that really is weird.
-
Here in So. Cal. the weather forecast can say it's going to rain, but where I live it usually always falls out near the mountains and is gone by the time the clouds get to us. Although, it was an unusually wet winter here.
I'll have to check out the PTC weather and see how accurate it is here. I don't usually pay attention to what it says.

They have radar so it is pretty exact. It is kind of neat. And scary at the same time. lol

That is not what he is talking about. Get on your smart phone if you have one and download the weather channels weather app.

Its uncanny to me when my phone app gives me an announcement that "rain will begin at 0:00" and it usually does!. Love it!!

I had the weather channel app on my desktop a few years ago. It made a sound when there was an alert.
I uninstalled it after it alerted about thunderstorms on the way by making thunder noises.
Talk about freaking out! My speakers were on, and it was really loud!

I think it's funny someone actually got it right. I live in VA and use WUSA9 app. I remember both the radar and the forecast claimed there was no rain in site but when I stepped outside my front door there was terrestrial rain. Go figure.
