Weather by Committee

This is also too funny not to post. Have we emphasized enough yet that weather.com is wonky?

We realize that it is very difficult to forecast the weather. However, we kind of expect the weather forecast to be internally consistent. Perhaps we don't understand how weather forecasting works, but this sure looks like it was done by a committee with no communication.

According to Weather.com our weather today is going to be rainy. You'll notice, a 30% chance of rain. While that isn't all that high (especially for here), they make it look like it's going to be cloudy and rainy.



However, it is currently raining only sunshine and has been all morning long. So let's look at the hour by hour forecast to find out when all this rain is expected.



Wait, what? We don't see any time it's going to rain before 6pm. Perhaps it's going to rain this evening then. Let's take a look.



OK, now we're just confused. Perhaps one of you can explain this phenomenon to us. For now, we're going with the hour by hour forecast, as that is what the weather outside agrees with more.
