No-So-Accu-Weather Stats

This will be going on intermittently for a few weeks, so just skip the weather reports if you're bored (and you probably already are). My goal here is to see if my suspicion is correct, and Accuweather does indeed tend to offer impossibly rosy forecasts 10 to 15 days out, pushing them back with each passing day.

Accuweather's forecast highs as of today:
7/27 - 94° (eight degrees higher than yesterday's forecast--and notice that the cool temperatures are now forecast to arrive one day later than they were yesterdays))
7/28 - 81°
7/29 - 84° (four degrees higher than yesterday's forceast)
7/30 - 83° (three degrees higher than yesterday's forceast)
7/31 - 85° (five degrees higher than yesterday's forceast)
8/1 - 84° (four degrees higher than yesterday's forceast)
8/2 - 79° (three degrees higher than yesterday's forceast)
8/3 - 76° (golly gosh, there's that 76° forecast, 15 days out, just as it was yesterday!)
