These outlooks are probabalistic maps intended for agricultural purposes. They are frequently presented as evidence of a coming weather pattern that might include or rather exclude a sought after event. For example if looking for a winter storm you may feel the requirement of a cold long range outlook. A warm one may be misinterpreted as a non-starter for winter weather conversation when in reality a proper thermal environment could exist within the broad high probablilty positive anomaly outlook. Below are some theoretical examples of how you might achieve a long range temperature mean yet possibly miss the true daily process at hand. |
