Modern weather forecasting has advanced significantly, but it still faces fundamental scientific limits. Meteorologists can usually predict weather reliably for up to about ten days. After that point, accuracy declines quickly because the atmosphere is a chaotic system where tiny changes can grow into major differences. This sensitivity prevents long-range prediction from being truly precise.
