The Forecast

The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In
general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the
pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain).
When the pressure drops rapidly, the storm icon will be displayed.
It may take several days to begin forecasting the weather. In the meantime, the partly cloudy icon will
be displayed.
The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 12 to 48 hours,
and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions
and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.
The "Snowy" weather forecast is based on the outdoor temperature, and will be displayed when the
outdoor temperature is below -3°C (26°F).
