Just looked at the 5-day forecast here on the Internet with both local news and NOAA for here in Jacksonville, Florida. Boy to the temperatures differ!
Local/Wed. high 49/low 46
NOAA: 58/34
Local/Thurs: 50-32
NOAA/Thurs: 54-32
Local/Friday: 54-29
NOAA/Friday: 60-40
Local/Saturday: 45-32
NOAA/Saturday: 54-39
Local/Sunday: 52-29
NOAA/Sunday: 62-43

Now, Thursday's comparison is fine, but the rest??????
I mean some of these temp differences between our local news and NOAA is 10 degrees off and sometimes as much as 15 degrees off from each other.
What gives???

All of this expensive weather forecasting equipment and local weathercasters and NOAA still can't get temperatures close to each others forecast! Seems so, so stupid!!

I remember one day when we lived in Colorado (28 miles south of Denver), I turned on the local news/weather after I got home from work and they said it was snowing in downtown Denver, but clear where our house was. I looked out side and I couldn't even see the house across the street due to snow/blowing snow.......it was like a dang blizzard going on! I thought, "what the He** are these people talking about!" The have Doppler radar right there, that would have showed we were getting hit with a snowstorm! Or, maybe the weather people need new glasses or their eyes checked!!!
