If your five day forecast is wrong within three hours of issuing it that’s not a good sign?
Tom
Weather folks are confused?

That's not within 3 hours, that's simultaneous. Both of them have the time as 8:00 AM EDT.

Maybe they're not expecting any more cyclones to form? An existing tropical storm would be hard to ignore... 
I think weather folks are perpetually confused around here. It's so unreliable, my CFI jokes they just use one of those magic 8-balls to see what to put in the forecast.

When you harvest prairie hay you would like to get an accurate 36 to 48 hour forecast, For the same time period weather.com predicts a 15% chance of rain while accuweather predicts a 65% chance. Last Sunday the weather forecast looks great, not a cloud in the sky - started mowing and halfway through (3 hours into it) check weather.com and it now forecasts an 80% chance of rain in three hours. Again clear sunny skies - WTF? Decide they are on drugs and keep mowing, did not get a drop. Definite love / hate relationship with weathermen!
