One of the problems in my area, is how large an area is being covered by the forecast. Years back the forecast covered an area 50 miles by 50 miles but today that forecast covers an area over 200 miles by 200 mikes and in many cases even further. Totally different weather from one side to another ! I never trust one report, always look at three to figure out what the weather will be in my specific area. Also lived around my area for 70 of my 74 years, so I know what will happen with certain winds, and conditions on my part of the lake or area where I live. Years back our local TV station's weather guy was a fellow boater. He understood what effect certain conditions would have on the big lake in various areas. His reports were the most accurate ever, but he has long since retired, but I learned a lot from his detailed forecasts so know create many if my own forecasts.
