Answer 1

This is a great question. The answer is that thr number of possible options of changes in the environment gets higher the farther out you go. So the models get less accurate. Their goal is to give a single prediction. If you gave multiple and odds for each you’d confuse the everyday person. So they model and present the most likely based on current data and historic patterns.
