Numerical Models

These models provide some guidance for meteorologists.  Through the use of complex mathematical equations, Calculus, and approximations, these computer programs simulate what is happening in the atmosphere currently and what could happen in the future.  The accuracy of these models varies from day to day due to constantly changing conditions.  No computer program can replace a good meteorologist.  As you look through these, you will probably notice many inconsistencies amongst the different models.  It is up to the meteorologist to determine which model is currently performing better and make his/her forecast based on what he/she has observed from current conditions and what the models say.
