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.

This is 100% correct. Lived in OKC for six years and the weather knowledge elsewhere does not begin to compare. Like, I could confidently go on camera during a tornado warning here in Kansas and do at least as well as our local folks (this may be a little hyperbole).
Steve Martin played a meteorologist in LA Story who prerecorded his forecasts, and that more more than 30 years ago. These days, the movie would have to have him going two weeks out for the jokes.
