Like Arlo I’m not a weather junkie but the false color splotches walking across the map have been with us for a generation. My first thought was that maybe Janis had coined a pretty good phrase. However when I looked for it I found several outlets using some variation of it.
i don’t even trust that. i just wait out the day to see how the weather will be. more than ever this year the predictablilty of the weather has been off so i wait and see what the new day brings!
Hurricane Henri was suppose to hit Long Island late Saturday night. For some months we have picking up Chinese food for dinner on Saturday nights and watching a movie on TV to substitute for our dinner out and a movie at the movies back in normal times.
7:15pm Saturday night husband sends the order in as normal on Saturday night. We get the kitchen ready to eat when we come back and ourselves ready to go out. I open the door to the side entry porch – I can hear heavy rain falling – not suppose to rain for several hours. We run to the car and drive to pickup, I run in – the wife/owner and I exchange “stay dry and similar comments” and I run back out to car and we go home and back through the rain to the house.
Somehow in NYC when the started the huge outside concert they were having it was not raining – if I heard a hurricane was going to be in the area with tropical storm over the rest of the area I would have postponed or canceled the concert. No, they went ahead with the concert and then the Mayor of NYC, staff, musicians, concertgoers were all surprised and upset when the storm hit the concert and they had to end it!
This was just the leading edge – luckily for Long Island the hurricane jogged east at the last minute and we were “only” hit by a tropical storm for over a day – tons of rain, but much less wind damage than expected – thank goodness.

“Future radar.” Hmm. Sounds a bit similar to “Minority Report.”

That was invented when the weather went from a five-minute report to a one-hour show with reruns.

Future radar is powered by clean-energy fusion, in the future.

It also shows a flight of incoming ICBMs, so don’t sweat the thunder storms. – (to paraphrase George Carlin).

It’s simple: the radar signal comes back at least an hour before it’s sent out!

They probably use thiotimoline as a working fluid… (Wiki it!)

The real worry is when the past radar changes in the future.

It came about at the time when Future Climate machines were invented.

Is future radar picking up on any Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP – now the officially preferred term for UFOs)?

I’m disappointed nobody said anything about flux capacitors.

Future radar uses tachyon beams for the signal carrier, which go faster than light, and hence, return before they are sent out.

Could have used future radar for that.
