WHAT ARE NUMERICAL PREDICTION MODELS?

Models are highly sophisticated and extremely complex computer programs that predict the weather from data that is collected from the field.
Data is fed into computer models which are highly complex mathematical algorithms or better known
as numerical models which try and take into account all the possible meteorological variables to predict
the growth, decay and speed of weather phenomena as well as temperatures, pressures, winds, etc. for periods from 12 hrs to 20 days in the future.
The models are only as accurate as the data that is fed into them and none are 100% correct and will never ever be able to 100% predict the weather
owing to the fact that a certain element of chaos exists in nature that CANNOT be predicted.
Certain models are better than others - links to certain models and their various outputs are given.
Most sources of data are similar. For this site's purposes, most data either is sourced from the NWS (National Weather Service of the USA).
