Kevin Martin is no weatherman

Come on Kevin, you know that is a lie.  The National Science Foundation issues much of the computer modeling programs.  Many are from other countries including the best which is from the EU.  Colleges work with research and so does the military.  However the greatest amount goes to NOAA-NWS who develop better models each year.  It will be 15-20 years before computers and models reach a high degree of correctness.  We have talked this over before.  You are not degreed and tell me you wish to be an actor.  The NWA convention issued proto-call in 1988 about the public and even degreed meteorologists, please do not use "watches & warnings" because this confuses the public.  As a consulting meteorologist and 30+ years of TV weathercasting we were ask to use "alert" ie "please be alert for the possible need of a watch or warning soon."  It has worked well.  Well until a narrow minded non-yielding Kevin Martin from Lake Corona came along.  Please just play your games, but follow some prota-call.  The Department of Homeland Security now shows an interest in your violations.  I am aware of your medical problems, but do not hide behind them.  Those wanting to comment to a report being prepared about Mr. Martin and TRAM should contact me at:  kerrydeanweather@hotmail.com. Please pass this information on so I will have both sides of the story. Reproachfully, Kerry Dean, WMO.
