How accurate is "Precision Forecasting"?

(1/4) > >>

jakejake:
I'm giving strong consideration to Acurite's model 02010 because of the "Precision Forecasting" feature.

How well does it work?  Especially in Western Washington?

I like most things about the 02010, except I really wish I can see the daily highs/lows without having to push buttons (I need to monitor for freezing temperatures now that winter is here).  And I find the "indoor weather" to be totally unnecessary (especially since I have a furnace thermostat). 

So I'm trying to decide if Acurite's weather forecasting is worth it, or if getting a console that displays daily hi/low temperature is more advantageous.  If Acurite's "Precision Forecasting" is just as reliable as their competitors or Acurite's normal forecasting, then I'll give more weight to the daily hi/low choices, and my decision could become much simpler.

Thanks,
Jake

Especially when you can get about 75% accuracy (at least around here) just by saying, "Tomorrow will be the same as today." It's that last 25% that is the art of forecasting.

If it's anything like the Davis unit, might as well use a Magic 8-ball.  I leave the forecasting to the experts at NWS.

Sounding harsh.... how accurate could "precision forecasting" be from a hundred dollar unit??
