I put the lat/long coordinates for my location (North Whidbey Island, WA) in my original post: 48.29/-122.64.

I just checked the daily high temps for GFS (NOAA) number from Windy 5-fcst compare vs. the NOAA forecast for the same location.
Fri Aug 12: Compare -5F lower
Sat Aug 13: Compare -5F lower
Sun Aug 14: Compare -8F lower

I have seen some other posts where this inconsistency is being noted. It may not be at all locations.

Hope it gets fixed, but this thread does not suggest Windy engineering will investigate. Unless they are grabbing the NOAA number from a non-NOAA site, this does not make sense.

Not too big a loss as GFS is less accurate overall vs. the other 4 models which I tend to rely on more.

Thx.

Looking at the "Compare" function for my forecast area, the GFS temperatures appear to be daily lows not the highs shown in the other 4 forecasts. There have consistently been issues with GFS versus the other four. Might want to investigate. Screenshot:

As I noted, the GFS/NOAA model in my 5-model comparison is the least accurate so I use it the least. Also, I have the NOAA hourly forecast bookmarked, so it is just one click to get the the "real" NOAA forecast.

Cliff Mass (University of Washington Professor) has a blog where he has described why NOAA's models are less accurate (standard USA stupid stuff).

The weird Windy !== NOAA numbers problem exists for my location. So now my "Compare" is between 4 models not 5 unless this gets fixed. (Again, this problem appeared recently. It did not exist previously.)

@korina I am using Windy's 5-forecast compare, so I am using different models. Just now I have only 4 to compare as the GFS data Windy is getting from NOAA's data appears to be wrong. Not a big deal, but it was not a problem previously. Something appears to be in error re: how Windy is pulling/using the NOAA data. NOAA data, as per my second post, is pretty easy to review on NOAA's site. The data pretty clearly shows Windy's error. Thanks for the reply.

The last few weeks, the GFS (NOAA) forecast has not appeared accurate for my location (48.29/-122.64?48.082). The high temps are always about 10 degrees below all the other forecasts when displayed in "compare" mode (image 1 below). The GFS temps are also lower than the temps NOAA shows on its own hourly forecast page for the same location (image 2 below). Again, this forecast inconsistency has appeared only in the last few weeks. Prior to this GFS was much more consistent with the other forecasts and the NOAA page.
