Yesterday was predicted to be overcast but dry. Went hiking and we all got soaked!
Same thing today; planned a yard sale based on good weather prediction. Now it’s pouring. |

Bookmark the National Weather Service. No app should have been showing no chance for rain yesterday or today. |

| The weather channel app has been really bad lately. |

| They do. I have the weather channel app and it’s better. Not accurate every time, but still better. |

| I use the weather channel radar app. It’s pretty accurate. |

| Both days had about a 50% chance of thunderstorms in the forecast several days ahead. But I feel like the weather channel app is not too accurate pinpointing where they will be or when. Even the radar seems off. |

| It's like getting rid of people who work on weather predictions and fix equipment means we get worse service. |

| Aviator here. It’s REALLY difficult to predict summer weather. My best advice to you would be to purchase a subscription to an app where you can use future radar, and learn how to, on a basic level, understand what you’re seeing. |

It's summer, OP. You should expect a 50/50 chance of storms every single day until at least Labor Day.
This is on you. |

| Do you know about summer in DC? Because...this is what happens. |

I don't think you really understand what goes into a forecast and how the apps really work. ie, just another a PEBCAK error. |

| The Apple Weather app is the worst. Doug K always warns against using it. |

No. I’m from here and OP is right about the app. |
