An analysis by meteorology enthusiast Packie Young shows Google DeepMind's FNV3 weather model picked up an appreciable signal on Hurricane Isaias 11 days before landfall, locked in the exact landfall location 4 days out, and consistently predicted peak intensity (105 kt) 3 days ahead. Using 1000-member and 50-member ensemble visualizations, he argues a new age of forecasting has arrived — potentially giving communities days more time to evacuate. The post drew 341K views.
