accurate davis

how accurate is davis' future weather forecast? how it works? how does it capture future information for the station's point? I have my doubts about the future forecast. what I need is the future information he gives me.

is there a certain % of precipitation you can trust? for example, there is a 40% precipitation for the next few days, is it a low rate? since no site confirms 100%, as it is forecast and everything can change. But Davis's future predictions don't seem to be anything to go by.

Correct, all predictions by anybody are just that a prediction, hence called a forecast

Do not rely on them. They are almost always wrong.
If you want true forecasting for your specific location the only thing that works with accuracy and a Davis stationis Wxsim but it is expensive and complex.

Best just to trust the TV or weather site forecasts.
