Your 3-day forecast

OK, this is nuts. In fact, this is not really even possible.

5 Day Forecast
Wed.........Thu.............Fri...........Sat..............Sun
6° | -2°...-1° | -10°....6° | 1°....21° | 13°.....26° | 13°

I'm calling it a computer glitch. Just some bad code.

Tony, you're my buddy and you are a smart motherfucker...but if I've told you once, I've told you twice...you're not a meteorologist! Quit trying to predict the weather!

This seems more sensible...bring on the snow...and the Panthers!

That sort of daily weather change happens all the time where I live.

In the best tradition of South Park...Blame Canada!

All these forecasts share the same problem... if the "low" temperature on Wednesday is 16, and the "high" temperature on Thursday is 15... well there must be some kind of temporal front floating across the country messing up the space-time continuum..

Beletseri · 01-14-2004, 08:58 AM

Okay, maybe I'm dense but I don't see the temporal problem. If the low just before midnight on Wed is 16 and a cold front is in the process of moving in and the temp drops steadily from midnight on through thursday then the warmest temp on thursday could well be in the early hours of the morning at 15 degrees. Whatever, it is going to be bloody cold today and tomorrow.

I don't know if it makes you folks feel any better, but a couple of weeks ago, we went from 45 to 12 in the space of 24hours (that's a high to a high). That sucked A LOT.

I think it's just quantization artifact.

Now hot air is introduced into the question.

I know the summertime weather down here in Texas will fry eggs, but you can always shed some more clothes

Nah...the one for NBC10 shows that the low temperature for this morning was supposed to be 16, the high 25, the low tonight 20, etc.

Undertoad · 01-14-2004, 10:39 PM

Thursday high 24 low 20; Friday, high 19. It may be a simple quantization error, but if that's the case they should disclose their methodologies.

No...that 20 is the low for tonight going into tomorrow. Then 24 for tomorrow, 4 for tomorrow night, 19 for Friday...see? It's a zigzag pattern...NBC10's forecast screen used to always throw me off until I finally figured it out.

Of course, the forecast has now changed...
