Melita Weather Associates
For more than a decade, the most accurate weather forecasts over any time scale have come from only one source, and that is the experienced Meteorologists that comprise Melita Weather Associates (MWA).
Below is just one of the large suite of computer generated meteorological forecasts generated by our proprietary 30 day ensemble model.

Long Range Forecast Summary
September 12 Update: Winter-like cold air emanating from northern Canada is on the move through the northern Rockies and northern Plains, while weakening substantially as it spreads into the summer-like warm and humid air-mass lingering in the South and East. longer range models are latching onto another strong and extended cooling event across the eastern half of the country in late September to delay return of sustained above average warmth until closer to mid October.

MWA does not simply repackage or reformat the same freely available weather forecast computer model output, or attempt to deliver that same consistently erroneous Government data to you a minute or 2 faster each day. There are plenty of so called “weather providers” out there to choose from made up primarily of computer programmers as opposed to experienced Meteorologists. More than one of or our world-renown Atmospheric Scientists have been conducting specialized research for more than 50 years.
The 3 lead Meteorologists comprising MWA are Dave Melita, Pete Stamus and Dr. John Snook. Together they bring a unique alliance of meteorological expertise to the table at an opportune time to enhance long range weather forecasts using a proprietary model based on the most sophisticated atmospheric computer model in the world developed over a span of decades at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder Colorado. The NCAR model is actually a group of 4 distinct stand alone models known as the Community Climate System 3.
The links that follow will describe aspects of the proprietary and innovative computer model that we have developed. We strongly believe its introduction into the operational forecast environment will forever change the process in which operational weather forecasts are prepared, and the manner in which energy and agricultural trading concerns utilize forecasts in their daily business.

July 22 - Long Range Summary
Sharp west – east contrast in place across the U.S. is certain to persist into the middle of this week; separating excessive triple digit heat in most of the West, from mild below average temperatures by midsummer standards (mainly 80s) across the majority of Midwest, South, and East. Now that the anomalous amplified pattern driving these temperature anomalies is near peak model forecasts aligned markedly with important aspects of relaxation back to widespread summerlike flow before July is over. Not only are all extended range models fully onboard with eastward expansion of Western heat this week across the northern half of the U.S. all the way to the East Coast by next weekend (Jul 27-28), but recent forecasts are significantly hotter across the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, mid Atlantic region, and Northeast with most generating a heatwave (3 consecutive days or more of 90s) into early the following week (Jul 29-30). Model forecasts valid during the 11-15 day period (early August) are less aligned but all generate varying degree of moderation across the Midwest (seasonal at best), after which longer range guidance re-establishes well above average heat for a much longer period into late August. Seasonably cool and wet conditions currently focusing between the southern half of Texas and the lower Mississippi Valley are forecast to linger the longest into the 1st week of August, but drier conditions and above average temperatures are on track to resume and predominate the majority of the final month of summer. Models are also weaker and briefer with temperature moderation across the West; including coldest areas of the Pacific Northwest which only drop slightly below average this workweek, before warming to less extreme but prolonged above average temperatures (upper 80s-low 90s) starting by the coming weekend (Jul 27-28).
If your business or career depends on correctly predicting the weather, you can follow the pack or you can get ahead with MWA’s proprietary models and expert forecasts.
