I'm claiming that even IF you knew every condition everywhere on the planet, it would be too much to process it.
Even the guys at the Enterprise couldn't predict the weather.
Mr Data:
Sensors indicate that the storm will reach the area in about two hours
... and hour later ...
Picard:
The storm is catching up, we can't take off, I thought it would hit in two hours
Data:
well... buggery
<insert exciting episode about crew members hiding in caves and running around through a storm with stroboscope lightning and without getting wet>
Hanibal:
I love it when a plan comes together
