Using very complicated differential equations, it's theoretically possible for humans to accurately predict the weather to within 99% across the entire world for any given day. However, at current computer speeds it takes nearly 7 days to do said calculations. Hopefully in the next 10-15 years we can get some _really_ fast computers to do this, and then we won't miss the weather forecast at all.
