## The human problem

Weather forecasting demands substantial computation.

## The prior constraint

Numerical models simulate atmospheric physics.

## AI’s actual role

A graph neural network learned weather evolution from historical data.

## The documented result

The reported evaluation beat the operational comparison on more than 90% of 1,380 targets.

## Why it may matter

Faster forecasts could help forecasters explore conditions sooner.

## Limitations

Retrospective benchmark skill does not establish local warning quality.

## Unresolved questions

Evaluate extremes and operational integration.
