CaptainNews 285 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Telemundo 20 is doing 10 day forecasts and just recently NBC San Diego mentioned a 10 day forecast (It was possibly referring to their website.) How accurate has the 10 Day forecast been in other cities where an NBC O&O has a 10 day? http://www.telemundo20.com/el-tiempo/?zipCode=92101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no weather expert, but I assume that any forecast/prediction 2 or 3 days out will be less reliable/accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our current technology could only forecast weather within a certain timespan that afterwards it will eventually resort to using weather models and historical data to predict what's coming ahead. In other words, anything beyond 3 days is akin to throwing darts on a wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are correct 100% of the time because we already know what occurred. Pretty smart ehh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
