Weather forecasts week in advance?

[Deleted User]

Back in the 1980s it was hit or miss. They were only correct about 50% of the time. However, today, if the weather forecasters say it is going to be hot, you know there is about a 95% chance that they are right.
If they say there is a 40% chance or higher of rain, most of the time, it rains that day.
But how can they tell in advance what the weather is going to be like?

Weather usually moves in a certain direction, so what it's like in one place is usually what it's going to be like in another place a few days later. Also, weather predicting technology has advanced.

EDIT: I thought this topic looked suspicious. I did a Google search of it and found this exact line of text on multiple forums...
