It doesn't help when sites like accuweather (that claim to be more accurate than the rest), and weather.com keep on saying thunderstorms every hour during the day so I use weather.gov. They write the forecasts and you think they would be accurate. So they say thunder from 2 PM to 5 PM last night. I shut off my PC, wrote a note to say turn it on after dinner, and unplugged it and went to bed.
Early this afternoon I waited patiently while severe thunder wen't by. Not expecting any more thunder this day beyond 5 PM I turned it on. But lo and behold, they changed the fucking forecast today. Instead of ACCURATE Forecasts given last night, they decided to give me crappy ones last night that sucked. They changed it to Thunder from 2 to 8 PM tonight, and now I had to endure several hours of turning my PC on and hoping thunder would not hit, because they could not give me accurate forecasts. So they said severe thunder from 2 PM to 8 PM, so I thought, once it hits 8 it would be done right?
Wrong
Dead Fucking Wrong
They changed it to 2 to 9 PM 5 minutes later, then changed it to 2 to 10 PM 5 minutes after that, like they could not give you accurate forecasts in advance for the life of them. For someone who wants accurate ones the night before, this just pissed me off. The night before they said 2 to 5 Pm! Not 2 to 10 PM! It's like they could not do accurate forecasts.
So I did what I normally do : Check weather.com radar images and their future display which predicts what weather will hit said NO rain, nevermind thunder.

So An hour later I log back into weather.gov, and this time they said Severe Thunder from 9:30 PM to 10:15 Pm! And not just a watch but a warning, and all of the sudden they added it like they could not add it again. The damn forecast last night said 2 to 5 PM again! They could not accurately do it for the life of them! I know weather forecasts are not an exact science, but Common! They shouldn't be THIS inaccurate! I had to shut down the PC 2 FUCKING TIMES in 1 day to avoid the thunder, which happeend again tonight!
They need to work on their thunderstorm forcecasts during the summer, because this is fucking stupid. When you get a forcecast that is not accurate 24 hours ahead of time it's not good. Why could they not forecast 2 - 10:15 PM last night? What made them have to change things over and over again and not just forecast it with some really accurate method and stick to it! What's really annoying is that these sites will also occasionally give you forecasts that are totally inaccurate and you will get thunder when they didn't even forecast it! It's bad, they can/t forecast for shit and I am sick and tired of it!
