How accurate is the weather forecast in your city?
Niko Kommenda and I learned that NWS just began doing gridded assessments of forecast accuracy. We got the data and mapped of how many days into the future they get within 3°F of the observed high temp.

I wrote to my regional nws office because radar doesnt even show some precipitation in my area. Found out "we cant see below 10000 feet" in my area because of radar placement and mountains. My county is yellow amid the green here.
Yes! I can’t tell the difference between two degrees outdoors but I sure notice when the plants didn’t get the forecast rain.
Not to mention the number of times we have paralyzing levels of snow turn out to be nothing.
