Weather is not always 100% predictable. In fact, if you're a Weather Anchor and you're right 75% of the time, you're doing great. In our industry, we jokingly call Weather people "Weather Guessers" for this vcery same reason. No they don't guess with baseless claims. They predict, to the best of their abilities with help from data sent from the NWS and also referring to almanac records.
Also another aspect that determines how accurate weather reports are in your area is by where you live. If you live in Southern California, then during teh summer, weather will be sunny and warm, hotter in the valley areas....and that's about it. If you live in a part of the country where there's actually weather, then it'll be harder to pinpoint the weather.

Because weather is a chaos theory...
Chaos theory describes the behavior of certain nonlinear dynamical systems that under certain conditions exhibit a phenomenon known as chaos. Among the characteristics of chaotic systems is sensitivity to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect). As a result of this sensitivity, the behavior of systems that exhibit chaos appears to be random, even though the system is deterministic in the sense that it is well defined and contains no random parameters. Examples of such systems include weather, the atmosphere, the solar system, plate tectonics, turbulent fluids, economics, and population growth.
So, general meaning is that it is just one of those things that are very hard to predict, there are many variables controlling the weather.

I don't know where you live, but my local weather people get it right most of the time.
Maybe yours do too, you just tend to notice it more on the few occasions when they do get it wrong.
