Note: Snowy icon will appear in place of rainy icon when the outdoor
temperature is below 32 F (0˚C).
Weather Forecasting Description and Limitations
In general, if the rate of change of pressure increases, the weather is generally
improving (sunny to partly cloudy). If the rate of change of pressure decreases,
the weather is generally degrading (cloudy, rainy or stormy). If the rate of change
is relatively steady, it will read partly cloudy.
The reason the current conditions do not match the forecast icon is because the
forecast is a prediction 24-48 hours in advance. In most locations, this prediction
is only 70% accurate and it is a good idea to consult the National Weather
Service for more accurate weather forecasts. In some locations, this prediction
may be less or more accurate. However, it is still an interesting educational tool
for learning why the weather changes.
The National Weather Service (and other weather services such as Accuweather
and The Weather Channel) have many tools at their disposal to predict weather
conditions, including weather radar, weather models, and detailed mapping of
ground conditions.
