Weather junkies: How localized are predictions?
Though I can get live local data from wunderground.com and weatherbug.com, the PREDICTIONS seem to be generalized for a wider area and don't reflect my city. I Live in Antioch (google map), a suburb very east of SF. Predicted temps and rain are rarely correct. So, who ARE they forcasting for? And WHO is actually doing the forcasting on those sites?

They are rolling out point forecasts, though. Try checking this forecast against what you actually observe.
