Jaywalker: "Fishing opener is just two weeks out. I’m heading up but already wondering about some gear and food choices. Any recommendations for two week forecasts and their accuracy? "
Tough question. 10+ day forecasts are obviously highly suspect. That's true even for meteorologists whom don't keep track of things 3-4 times daily. I'am currently on my time off and need a break and just noticed a rather large change in the extended that was not there early Thursday. Too get some idea, I would watch the following linkl; it's updated every day but I must stress it's NOT a forecast , just a probability. And very little accountability is held to these forecasters. But they do catch on (sometimes takes awhile) to trends- but for the layman and hobbyist weather geek, it's good enough, usually. You follow them enough, you will see how they flip-flop. But hey- it's the weather.
6-10 / 8-14 day and longer outlooks
