If only that were true. The classic last year was a series of TAFs forecasting at each update a weather change was scheduled to arrive during the period.

The first TAF expected it around 10.00, this went back to 14.00, then 18.00hrs, then 22.00hrs. In the end it didn't arrive at all, and the day had been completely flyable. All this at an airfield 2 miles from the Met Office!!!!!
