Modern computer forecasting models have increasingly smaller grid spacing. This presents which of the following problems ?
A)Mesoscale weather features can be predicted.
B)Small-scale weather features can be resolved by the models.
C)Many more computations are needed.
D)The vast amount of information makes it difficult to make a prediction.
E)It takes too long to make a prediction.
