Nvidia’s New AI Weather Models Probably Saw This Storm Coming Weeks Ago
Nvidia AI Weather Models Predict Storms Weeks in Advance As a historic winter storm blankets much of the United States, millions are left wondering: could we have seen this coming sooner? The answer may lie in Nvidia’s newly unveiled Earth-2 AI weather forecasting suite—models so precise, they reportedly predicted this very system weeks ahead of time. Credit: R.Tsubin/ Getty Images Launched at the American Meteorological Society meeting in Houston on January 26, 2026, Nvidia’s Earth-2 Medium Range model claims to outperform even Google DeepMind’s GenCast across more than 70 atmospheric variables. With traditional forecasts struggling to pin down snowfall totals and storm tracks just days in advance, these AI-driven tools could revolutionize how we prepare for extreme weather. Why Traditional Weather Forecasting Falls Short For decades, meteorologists have relied on numerical weather prediction (NWP) models—complex simulations that solve physics-based equations governing the atmosphere.
