It feels like real weather AI|Forecast|whatever_you_want_to_call_it is still far, far away. Maybe it's just the consumer aspect of weather apps but I don't feel as if I get any more accurate data now than I did back when my parents turned to the daily weather channel for the forecast. Still a lot of clear days when rain was predicted or the even more dreaded torrential downpour when it was supposed to be sunny and clear.

Obviously all I have is anecdata for what I'm mentioning here but from a consumer perspective I don't feel like these model enhancements are really making average folks feel as if weather is any more understood than it was decades ago.
