Does "Today" mean 12 am to 11:59 pm of the day in question on weather forecasts?

It really depends on where you live. Weather offices around the world often differ in their procedures and policies. Personally I like what you have written.
In Australia, today means "until sunset", tonight means "sunset to midnight" morning means "midnight to noon" and afternoon means "noon to sunset". Naming the day of the week (such as Wednesday) means "midnight to midnight".

No. If you look at one of the local forecasts from www.noaa.gov, you will find that Today is 6am to 6 pm and tonight is 6pm to 6am. This is most apparent when afternoon thunder showers end after 6pm and they add a line "30% chance of rain ending before 7pm"

Today, for a forecaster means this same as it does for most people....generallythe term today covers a 24 hour period ending at modnight.
However, if I were to tell you that there were to be rainshowers today, I would generally be referrring to the period covering noon until about 5pm....then it would be early evening.
