A viral thread argues weather prediction is where AI is delivering genuinely useful science. Google DeepMind's hurricane model gave a strong signal on Hurricane Isaias 11 days out, locked onto the exact landfall location 4 days before it happened, and consistently nailed peak intensity 3 days ahead — visualized with 1000-member ensemble track density and 50-member individual tracks. "A new age of forecasting is upon us."
