Though weather people predicted cold foggy drizzly weather this hasn't happened YET

We were told to brace ourselves for cold, damp, drizzly weather. However, as I got into one of our vehicles with my wife to take the dog to the beach the cars outdoor thermometer said 67 degrees which was a surprise. Also, it was sunny somewhat off and on during the day too. And so I wonder if the drizzly weather predicted for tonight will happen either?

IT once again shows me the similarity of AI to Weather Apps where they say it's raining outside but it's not where you are.

I find thinking of AI like it was described as a prediction model or even a probability model shows how wrong it can be because who among us is right about what's going to happen next every single time.

Like today I woke up and sensed something wasn't right as an intuitive. Our water heater had gone out a few days ago so I was supposed to be up early waiting to give a plumber a check while my wife went out shopping I guess. However, I had been up to 2 am because I had been worried about some health problems a friend had been having recently. So, getting up early when you have already been up late doesn't work very well. So, when my wife returned I called her and she said she would give the check to the plumber installing our new water heater. So, at that point I went back to lay down to rest because I hadn't gotten enough sleep. 

But then, my wife came in and woke me up to tell me that our neighbor's husband just passed away from senile dementia and his wife had been taking care of him for years by herself mostly and now he was gone. She walked up to my wife who was talking to another neighbor that the lady walked up to in tears and put her arms around her good friend our neighbor and sobbed from the grief of losing her husband of many many years. My wife realized that she needed to let them share they grief as they were good friends and both couples were old friends so this was going to hurt.

So, when she told me this I realized what I had been feeling as an intuitive sort of like "There's a disturbance in the Force Luke" like from Star Wars when the planet and all it's people blew up.

So, this made much more sense to me what I was feeling that was "in the air". We lost another neighbor a lady in her late 70s or 80s last I think it was December too and she left right next to us leaving her 90 year old husband alone with caregivers now.

I guess the point I really want to make here is that AI is a probability machine a prediction machine not a mathematically accurate barometer of all real events but a predictor only of potential events that may or may not actually happen in real time.

But, in regard to the weather it's better than nothing (especially if a hurricane or tornado is heading your way)!
