Because small changes in atmospheric and surface conditions can have large, difficult-to-predict effects on future weather, traditional weather forecasts are released only about 10 days in advance. A longer lead time could help communities better prepare for what’s to come, especially extreme events such as the record-breaking June 2021 U.S. Pacific Northwest heat wave, which melted train power lines, destroyed crops, and caused hundreds of deaths.
