Overall, weather predictions have come a long way in recent decades.
Forecasting skill increases by roughly one extra day of accuracy per decade.
A 5-day forecast today is roughly as accurate as a 1-day forecast was in the early 1980s, and a 3-day prediction of a tropical storm or hurricane track today is more precise than a 24-hour forecast was 40 years ago.
I've often wondered how much forecasting has improved. This video emphasizes how granular or hyper-regional current predictions are getting using AI and massive amounts of data.
