The forecast software I use, WXSIM, has the ability to apply a 'learned bias'. As more forecast models
are run, WXSIM will apply this bias, which will then improve forecast accuracy. I run the bias routine
once a week.
This will in turn, point to a particular model runtime for the most accurate 4-Day Forecast time to use.
I'm mainly concerned with forecast accuracy of the current timeframe up to Day +2.
The graph depicts how my forecasts compare relative to normal.
