The first day of the15 Day forecast provides an outlook for the rest of the day - from this hour forward, rather than the entire midnight to midnight period (which could include past events). This “looking forward only” approach is useful especially when precipitation is in the forecast.

Note: The low and high temperatures of both actual and feels like represent the daily (midnight to midnight) low/high forecast or observation It will be the observed low and/or high if its already occurred, and the forecasted low and/or high if it hasn’t.
