the point of thousands of Passmarks for pennies is that computer power means smaller area simulations with closer time slices can be made. the integration of these is the output of all simulations. there is still not enough computer power and understanding of interaction to get the next day for a local area right for fast moving weather systems. I did not expect you to get that at all. In any case, I expect computers are still many orders of magnitude to slow to model tomorrows weather. And the equations of climate models are simply orders of magnitude to dumb to predict the climate. Climate is the integration of weather for many many many days. Now have any climate models taken into account the millions of square miles that have been greening and continue to green. Do models take into account the increasing amplitude of CO2 seasonal changes. A dozen models give a dozen paths. they track for a short time and then diverge. But none in weather can get the next day temperture profile of a given location for many conditions. Go out a couple more days and they are junk. If I wish to figure I may know my future weather, I simply use. mp1.met.psu.edu and sometimes see a few to several or more hours in the future. Now as I recall my specific location was in a 3 to 6" zone near the border of a 6 to 12" zone. So they got snow 6 +- 5. Now climage models are going to get all temps averaged ??+-3 degrees in ten, a hundred years. LOL......
