The type of weather forecasting that will provide the family with the most accurate information on which to make their decision is short-term forecasting. Short-term forecasts typically cover up to a few days ahead and can provide more precise and timely information about weather conditions, which is essential for their plans to visit the zoo on either Saturday or Sunday.
