Why do you say that shortcuts should not exist? Even very basic statements like "falling pressure and increasing humidity indicate a storm is coming" are generally valid. I've done a little bit of storm-chasing and I'm able to point out areas that are likely to experience severe thunderstorms based on a few values (CAPE, dew point, wind shear, etc). I'm sure forecast meteorologists have even better skills. Are those not shortcuts?
