I think it's safe to say that any general forecast more than a day or two away can end up to be no where near correct. It's like some kind of a cheap scam when the weather guy says 'well get your rain coat out because we're gonna have a wet weekend' when it's only MONDAY!
So anyways I thought I'd share this site (if you don't already know about it: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/
It's where all the official weather comes from anways so you might as well go to the source, and when it comes to forecasts more than a few days away, they have a 'discussion' that you can read. Basically it is some guy (or gal) talking about what the weather *might* do in much broader terms than you get from channel 72 (or whatever). I'd much rather know what the weather may or may not do and have one of those be right than think it will rain only to have clear skies.
Here's an example of the current forecast discussion for the LA area (which I didn't even know they had and is very useful): http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/afos/LAX/AFD/LAXAFDLOX
