Sweet! Actually what it sounds like is you have real meteoroligists at two different stations interpreting data based on their accepted models. Whereas here in Chicagoland, we have a couple dozen stations not counting the multitude of radio stations that all say the same thing and are all usually wrong by exactly the same degree, with one or two exceptions.

Those exceptions are the "old folks" stations where they still employ a meteoroligist as the weatherman. Thinking the best guy around here is Skilling, from WGN, we used to have the great John Coleman, who founded the weather channel, then abandoned that when he said it became a political/cash operation and no longer demonstrated rational meteorological sense.

You know why they are called weatherman/woman?

Its because they don't know "weather" it will rain or snow, be sunny or cloudy, be warm or cold.

Local TV station Weather Channel
Sat 50 51
Sun 53 30% chance rain 53 partly cloudy
Mon 57 partly cloudy 55 few showers
Tues 60 partly cloudy 56 mostly cloudy
Wed 57 40% chance rain 62 partly cloudy

I am my own weather person, I go outside and stand on back porch. I get to feel what the temp. is and look at the sky to see if it is cloudy or signs of rain. Today it is sunny, but still to cold to go out and dig. Long pants, long sleeve and winter coat again today.
