They're using other models, combinations, each does something different. But I haven't seen anything on the national forecasts significantly different. I can't speak as to your local station. Now, if you want something to think about, then think about the fact that all the Atlanta school systems are closed tomorrow.
Here's an article that might interest you.
Accuracy of three major weather forecasting services | Dr. Randal S. Olson
That article discusses local forecasts and doesn't speak highly of some of them. It also discusses weather.com's wet bias. It doesn't discuss Accuweather or Wunderground or all the others.
Dr. Olson should stick to his biometrics data.
The article is both incorrect and misleading.
The graph is nonsensical as described and depicted.
The only part that's correct is that the NWS does most of the heavy lifting for meteorologists worldwide.
In the marinas in Spain, Portugal and France, they post the NWS' Atlantic Ocean charts, forecast and analysis.
