Have you noticed that the Weather Channel website seems to be a lot less accurate lately?

Maybe they are pretty accurate with the temperature predictions, but everything else is totally bogus lately.


If it says 70% chance of rain, it doesn't rain. If it they have those big red banners screaming about "severer thunderstorms", there are never any storms. It seems like they are grossly exaggerating the weather to scare people or cover their azz.





A few years ago, they were a lot more accurate.





Are they giving the common people crappy weather information and selling the real, accurate info to airports, governments, etc for a huge profit?|||Years ago ( the early 1980's) when the Weather Channel ( the cable channel) it was great even though critics said who would watch 24 hour weather. Soon thereafter 1990 and the advent of the internet came weather.com which was an aset to our busy lives if we wanted to know anything about the weather as you could get on demand information on any city/state in the United States. However in 2008 when it was sold to NBC Univeral ( now Comcast) the whole Weather Channel franchise has gone downhill and continues to, the cable channel shows less live weather, the website is full or errors and Environmental lies. It is now the joke that critics said back in the 1980's "Who is going to watch ( acesss on the internet) the Weather Channel? Right now No one!|||I'm no fan of TWC 鈥?far from it 鈥?and I've long abandoned it for the far superior NWS. However, I think you're reading too much into it. The weather is impossible to predict with certainty, and if any forecasting agency got your particular forecast wrong, chances are it's simply a natural synoptic deviation rather than a masterminded conspiracy on the agency's part. I do believe TWC monopolizes the weather in that they overemphasize (not necessarily exaggerate) storm events for the sole purpose of achieving higher ratings, but the point-by-point (city) forecasts are derived automatically from computer models, with little or no human input.|||i kind of agree I use the app and the site. I was looking at the app before school and it said it would be like 50 degrees and the site said it was 70
