You have got to be kidding me, right? Evidently earlier this week, Accuweather launched their "Revolutionary" 45-day forecasts. I have one thing to say: lolwut?

A joke indeed. I use the AccuWeather Firefox add-on (b/c the weather.com one is STILL incompatible), and they rarely even get my 3 day forecast right! <_<

Seconded.  It's hard enough for most meteorologists to get 7-day forecasts right, except for the really good ones of course.  I believe it was said a while back that AccuWeather is actually AccuWrong.

Weather forecasting is generally only accurate up to 48 hours in to the future. Anything after that is usually left up to chance and how things flow.
