Understanding Weather Forecasts

🎯 Accuracy

Weather forecasts are most accurate for the next 24-48 hours. Accuracy decreases beyond 7 days due to the chaotic nature of weather systems.

🌡️ Temperature

Temperature forecasts show the expected air temperature. "Feels like" temperature considers wind chill and humidity effects.

💧 Precipitation

Precipitation probability shows the chance of measurable precipitation (0.01 inches or more) at any point in the forecast area.

💨 Wind

Wind speed and direction can significantly affect how temperature feels and impact outdoor activities and travel conditions.
