How accurate is accuweather?

[bcmuzzy]

Just checked 15 day forcast for southern Kansas, I'll be there from November 8 thru the 15th accuweathers calling for rain and freezing rain for the 8th and 9th. Better find me a good pop up blind. Any suggestions?

from what ive seen it pretty accurate but thats still awhile out to! So i wouldnt hold my breath

bc,

I use it and it is the best forecast I have found. It is usually good and accurate for the first 10 days, and after that it tends to change.
I saw that Freezing rain and sleet as well and I was trying to figure out where I would hunt that week. All my stands are eithe laddewr stands or lock ons...
Guess I need to break out the Frog Toggs and a lot of layering of clothes..

What part of SE Kansas you hunting? I am not too far from that area and I will be off that entire week as well.
Good luck

Around Independence, yeah I have some frog toggs as well, thought I might pick up a good pop up blind to take with me just in case. What part are you in?

[Passthrough]

I hope it holds true! That will be perfect for my expected hunt dates!

bowanta and bc

I also hunt around Independence we're leaving Thursday evening to go up and hang stands and hunt a little. We'll go back on November 10th and hunt through the 15th.
The rut should be in full swing by then.

I like accuweather but NONE of them are accurate that far out.

I think they are as accurate as any site and I use accuweather but there is only so much you can do 15 days out. I use it for a general idea. If they say it is going to be cloudy and 40 then it may be raining and 30 or partly cloudy and 45 but they seem to be in the ballpark. I don't see that kind of prediction and expect it to be sunny and 75.

The accuweather extended 15 day forecast is run off of the GFS (global forecast system) model data and nothing else. The GFS model is run 4 times a day and changes from run to run.

I'd rather trust Johnny, our Redneck weather dude, for forecasts that far out.

I'm serious.

any forecast beyond 3 days is stretching things. 15 days is a LONG ways out in the weather world.

we go to KS for pheasant every year and every year we start watching the wx forecasts as soon as it'll come up for opening weekend... and every year the forecast changes dramatically as we get closer. when it gets to Wed or Thurs before the opener on Saturday it starts getting much better and more accurate...

The Sleet and Freezing Rain has been removed from the forecast. It will be cooler, but mostly clear was the forecast this morning for those dates.
