Thirty-seven years ago, Oklahoma City experienced an extraordinary winter. A rare November snowfall kicked off the season, followed by a one-foot snowstorm in December, an ice storm during Christmas week, another one-foot snowstorm in January, and a late-season snowfall in March. For a city that averages only 8 inches of snow annually, the winter of 1987-1988 was nothing short of remarkable—and it marked the beginning of my journey toward discovering the LRC.
After that historic winter, I created a mural that remains on my wall to this day. It was then that I first recognized these storm systems were not coincidental but were instead part of a recurring weather pattern. Fifteen years later, this concept was formally named the Lezak Recurring Cycle (LRC) by the community of bloggers at the Action Weather Blog on KSHB-TV. The LRC allowed us to make remarkably accurate predictions for winter storms, severe weather outbreaks, floods, droughts, and tropical storms weeks to months in advance—sort of like weather's ‘Crystal Ball’.
While we don't claim to have all the answers, we have certainly cracked the code of long-range weather forecasting. Weather 20/20 leverages the patent-pending LRC model, methodology, and technology to equip businesses and consumers with the advanced knowledge needed to prepare for potential weather disasters weeks to months in advance. Let’s take a look at what this is all about.
