Full disclosure: undergraduate and graduate degrees in atmospheric science, developer of numerical weather prediction models for NASA and the National Weather Service.

Yes I have relied heavily on your NASA weather models to determine if I needed to wear a jacket when it was 90 degree 90 % RH outside. (that was a joke - I understand your obsession with technical accuracy being an anal engineer myself). No weather degrees under my belt but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

NASA doesn't run operational weather models to support daily forecasting. The National Weather Service does. Just trying to educate you a bit - it looks like I failed. Par for the course on TOTV ;-)
