I am having a weird problem with TWC's forecasts. They are not very accurate it seems. And I mean this literally like half the time they don't get it right now, now they might as well instead of saying 20 percent chance of rain, just say 50 because it seems like it does half the time, now I understand forecasts are hard to predict especially with the mountains in my area but seriously I wonder if I could predict a 5 hour in advance forecast better than them sometimes. And area shouldn't be a problem either because I'm not sure if I live in the Beckley city limit but if I don't I don't live more than maybe 2 miles outside it. Even the current conditions aren't accurate at least where I'm at, half the time it says sunny and it's cloudy or rainy it seems and I would imagine if its raining, it's probably cloudy on the other side of town where they probably have the weather station. But the irony is that it seems like they have been getting worse, like back a few years ago it seems like they were actually pretty accurate but now they might as well say 50 percent every day and that would be just as good of a forecast. Does anyone know why this is happening and or how I could contact TWC to fix the issue?
