The forecasts are being actively improved, it's just not an overnight step change.
For example, I have just added rainbow.ai short term precipitation forecast into https://weathergraph.app, and it's the best short term forecast I have ever used - based on radar data + AI prediction based on wind etc.
It sounds simple, but there is surprising complexity even just getting (in fast predicting) the 'ground truth' from the radar data, as each radar is noisy, is updated at a different time, might not work at a time ... so even the "current precipitation according to radars" is not a reading, but a result of ML model.
