The skill of numerical weather forecasts (forecasting by computer) generally has been increasing since its inception. Even so, a numerical weather forecast for a particular place and time can be frustratingly wrong. One of the reasons for this is the errors in the initial conditions, which refers to the best-guess estimate of the state of the atmosphere at the time the computer forecast begins.
