I don't understand how there are people dumb enough to look at a forecast 4 days out and expect it to have anything remotely resembling what actual conditions will be. Friday? Yeah, that makes sense. Tuesday? Seriously?
Not a weather guy but I'm going to go out on a limb and say the forecast will significantly change a few times between now and Saturday.

A little harsh, but I get your point. However, nothing wrong with looking ahead. I am debating taking my 7 year old or not so I probably won't get too excited about the weather until Thursday or so.
Probably because people want to get their **** in order on what to take with them, and not wait until Friday to find out for themselves or late communication with family friends etc.
Wow, way to be a ****. Somebody pee in your Cheerios this morning?
A local weather forecast from 4 days ago. Seems pretty accurate to me.
The first round of heavy rain will begin with thunderstorms Friday afternoon. Rain will set up in Central Iowa & slowly drift SE, leaving showers & drizzle on Saturday. More heavy rain Sun-Wed, starting west. Some areas will see 4-6" by mid-next week.

@FDWxMan is busy with much more important things than your silly gameday forecast.
BTW, Congrats man!

Meh, they already blew this one. 8" already where I'm at with more coming. ;-)
Actually forecasts 4 days out are plenty accurate. You all knew it would rain today 4 days ago. No need to be a douche about someone looking at a forecast for this weekend.
Over/under on grass lots being closed yet again? Drove by South 16th and lots by Vet Med had standing water in them. Neighbor was just mowing his lawn in the rain.
For the meteorological inclined...
What is the accuracy rate by how many days out we are? I know something like this is difficult to define as "correct" or "incorrect," but what percent of the time, roughly, are things right in a three-day forecast as opposed to the one five days out? Seven? Ten?
I am trying to see if there is a line where it crosses from speculation to rough guess, to reasonably trustworthy, to the stone cold lock of the century.
It looks like this a pretty straight forward weather pattern that has been shaping up. It’s not like they are trying to predict a summer severe storm event so I would buy stock in the forecast at this point.
zero chance the grass lots are open.
4 days ago, the local forecast called for possible severe weather and significant precip (2-3 inches) today. So far, nearly 6 inches of rain since about 8:00 AM, and counting. Shame on them for not getting the total right!!!!
Weather.gov is showing some improvement now for Saturday. Basically no chance for rain all day until 7 pm now, and from 7 pm to midnight it is a 49% chance.
So still not ideal, but at least if that forecast holds (which it likely won't), tailgating will be fine all day at least and maybe even the first quarter or so? As long as there's no lightning, I don't care though.
