McCast: Memory-Guided Latent Drift Correction for Long-Horizon Precipitation Nowcasting

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.13197v1 Announce Type: cross Existing precipitation nowcasting methods typically adopt an autoregressive formulation, where future states are predicted from previous outputs. However, such an approach accumulates errors over long rollouts, causing forecasts to drift away from physically plausible evolution trajectories. Although various studies have attempted to alleviate this problem by improving step-wise prediction accuracy, they largely neglect the global temporal evolution of meteorological systems and lack mechanisms to actively correct drift during rollouts.
