About this episode

Gary Lezak discusses his innovative LRC model for predicting weather patterns.

The LRC (Lezak Recurring Cycle) was invented by well-known meteorologist Gary Lezak. It revolves around a proven theory that starting in early October, once the sun sets at the north pole and that area goes into darkness, a new "cycle" starts to develop . How it works: Patterns begin to emerge each fall as the jet stream begins to move south, from its minimum in late summer. When this happens, a pattern begins to develop from the unique temperature differences in the Artic. Anchor troughs and anchor ridges develop and shape how the jet stream flows. Gary's Global Predictor app is a, cloud-based tool powered by Weather 20/20's LRC model that provides long-range weather forecasts up to 6 months in advance for any location worldwide. Designed for planning weddings, travel, and events, it offers daily temperature highs/lows, rain/snow probabilities, and interactive map features.
