The current day of our 10-Day forecast represents the "rest of" the day, 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, depending on if the low and/or high have already occurred.
In the example shown above; at 7am the weather condition showed "All day Snow Likely" with an accumulation of 7-10 inches.
By 4pm the weather condition was updated to "PM Snow Likely" for the Rest of Tuesday. The amount of snow in the forecast has also been updated. This is because only the amount of snow yet to fall for the Rest of Tuesday is shown in the graphic. The hourly forecast is available for a more detailed hour by hour view.
Click the Text Weather Menu option.
Select the 10 Day Forecast thumbnail. Your default location will appear.
