Let me get this straight: forcasting accuracy is less accurate because there is a smaller quantity of current observations? I don't think so... There is plenty of information regarding what is coming. The problem is that they don't know what is going to happen when it all gets here (Seattle). As the weather moves in from the west, it bends around the Olympic mountains (both from the north and the south) and converges over Seattle. What happens next is anyone's guess. This is what makes it a real challenge to predict the weather in the Seattle area.
