basically, I would like to answer the following question:
For example, I would like to know how likely it is to be raining when forecasts predict 70% raining risk 3 days ahead of time. I know there are plenty of weather data sets, but are there any data sets which contain information about forecasts specifically? Has anything like this been done before? Thank you |

There's certainly a huge literature on the accuracy of weather forecasts, including some work that led to widely used general techniques for evaluating predictions. A data set of historical forecasts from a particular model is available from NOAA. The project sounds very cool, but the data looks quite complex. This is not the forecast from your local TV station! |

I too was after the same type of data a couple of years ago, and amazingly enough I was unable to find the forecasts themselves once the particular date has passed. It means that you'd want to collect the forecasts actively over a period of time. While you're at it, I'd also suggest collecting a few types of forecast horizons: one day ahead, two days ahead, and until 10 days ahead (some websites offer that far ahead weather forecasts).
