I just wanted to know if I was missing something, Maybe there is some way of simplify forecasts for local areas that I'm not aware of. I would be interested to know.
I expect there is if you constrain what we mean by "forecasts".
Like, for my purposes, I'd simply like to know the temperature trend for the next 3-5 days. Will each day's high be hotter or cooler than the previous?
Bonus points: what's the high temperature for the next 3 days (within say, 3°F).
Anecdotally, using these standards, this seems to be consistently wrong where I live for much of the summer. I don't pay attention in the other seasons as the weather is much milder.
