    Default What forecast can you trust?


    Accuweather: http://www.accuweather.com/forecast-...42071&metric=0

    Weather Channel: http://www.weather.com/outlook/recre...hr_topnav_boat

    Not even similar.

    Weather channel says rain every day 22nd to 25th, temps around 60.

    Accuweather shows no rain at all between the 20th an 26th.

    It would be nice to know....

    I've given up on 10 day forecasts! To many times I've planned trips based on them only to find they are way off. I don't even know why they bother giving a 10 day forecast.

    And if your hoping they are accurate with the wind forecast....forget it!

    This time of year I keep a close eye to the two three day forecast and go when it's right. I'm lucky enough with my job If I plan time off and the weather goes south I just go back to work and save my days for a better time.

    Last fall I went after seeing a forecast for 8mph winds. They were only off by 20 miles an hour.

    I know now that for Murray I need to "brace for stormy seas" and "get local tide report" before I go fishing. That is why I haven't been able to catch fish here lately, I have been fishing on the wrong tide.

    I'd never get to fish if I followed that forecast.
