How Well Can You Predict Tomorrow's Weather?
ES2013  Looking at Forecast Maps

Meteorologists consider all the available information when they develop generalized forecast maps. This map shows weather that was predicted to occur over the 24 hours after the map was issued. Forecasters may predict the weather up to several weeks into the future, but the further into the future they forecast, the less accurate they are.
