In today's forecast: "patchy fog before 10am, then patchy fog after 11am".
It'd have been just as quick to say "patchy fog, except perhaps 10-11am".
@pieist I want to know what happens between 10 and 11 am to chase away the patchy fog!
@hasmis I can't think of a funny answer so I'll give a mundane one (pardon me if this is obvious): these pinpoint forecasts are written mostly by a rules engine with little human editing. Number falls above a certain threshold: patchy fog. Falls below it, no patchy fog. So there's a data point midmorning below a fairly arbitrary threshold there.
@hasmis Much, much better.
@pieist Yes, that would be horrible -- All these Barbies coming at you saying -- Math is Hard. Bam! With the shotgun. Or, to follow a certain movie, the gap is "END OF WORLD, followed by backup restore". Or, if it wasn't written by an AI, it would fill the gap with 'Cloudy with sunny breaks'. And you though this wasn't funny.
@hasmis I feel like I'm looking upon the world with new eyes.
@pieist Oh, I thought it was the Barbie Apocalypse.
