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. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Kinda curious what this plot would look like for precipitation predictions, which is often more important

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.
