Ouch! Just a minute there...Weather prediction has come a long way in the
past 100 years. Most of modern meteorology is a science as far as I am
concerned.

You must have better meteorologists in your area than here. I watch the 5
day forecasts published in the paper with some amusement. Say I look at
Friday's forecast on Monday. By Thursday that forecast will have changed
significantly at least twice and usually the Thursday forecast for Friday is
still wrong. It seems to be the case that long term forecasting has gotten
better, but as far as I can tell, the short range forecasting is just as bad
as it has been for the past 50 years. ;-(
