Ya mean the private service does better than the gummint one? Amazing!

Don't know if it changes your feelings but accuweather is wholly
dependent on the US government for the basic wx data they use.

Also, FWIW, I hired a private wx router for my last passage (Honolulu-
San Fran) and fired him less than half the way across since he was
doing much worse than I was with just the government info that I had
access to while underway. He seemed incompetent to me but he's been
in business for years. IME, if the marketplace were working perfectly
the guy I hired would be doing something else for a living...

I'll bet that Wolfgang Puck can make a better dinner than you can, using the
exact same ingredients.

I'm not taking that bet! But, I might bet that accuweather is
just giving you straight meso model output as provided by NOAA and it
is better than the local NOAA wx guy because the wx guy is degrading
the data.
