Great...IF they get it right which is about 50/50 unless there is a really REALLY predictable event coming our way. You know, like Sandy 24 hours before the s**t hit the fan.
Ask anyone in the biz and they will tell you that most of the time the weather predictions are dubious at best and have wrecked many a weekends fishing.
Go on if you must but I think you are barking up the wrong tree on this site.

What science is 100%? The best doctors in the world have never been able to find a cure for the common cold. seismologists have never been able to predict or control earthquakes etc, etc. They do their best with the technology available along with their instincts. Some areas are more difficult to predict then others. Where I live if you put up 75 degrees and mostly sunny you would be right about 250 days a year. Northeast is a bit more finicky. Boats are going to lose money on errors in the forecast. That will never change unless technology allows for 100 percent accuracy. Until then plan for some lost revenue.
