Your Weather on the Eights

So typically I've only been able to find extended weather forecasts 10 days out.  Using my Sherlock Holmes-esque deductive skills, I had a notion that someone out there had to be pushing the boundaries of two weeks.  Then applying my Google powers for good instead of scouring the net for ridiculous poses to put your heads on, I stumbled upon this:

 Not too shabby.  I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll be able to maintain this excellent outlook, but that's really not what I wanted to share.  I thought to myself..."wonder how far out these guys are predicting weather?"  Let's see...

What?!!! ALL of October?!!

Better wear my gortex Trick or Treating!  Dare I forge on to the next month...?

HALF of November?!!

We can almost see what the weather is supposed to look like for Turkey Bowl.  What kind of climate conscious witches does Accuweather employee?   I can only assume they've finally harnessed the power of their own flux capacitor.  Thank Christ.  It's been long enough.  25 years since Back to the Future and I haven't sniffed a hover-board yet. 

Anyhow, moral of the story is that I'm going to go out on a limb and say we can't put our complete faith on this prediction.  This was the ad adjacent to the long range forecast:

I'm simultaneously terrified and intrigued as to what may be waiting on the other side of that link.  I mean...clearly there's a warning.  Clearly I'm a man.  But based on the scantily clad lass depicted it, I can't think of why it would be risky to enter? (virtual STD's?) However, if the ad had a dude huddled under an umbrella, as bags of dicks rained down from an ominous sky...well, yeah...memo received.  As it is now, it just seems like a mixed message.
