      I am not a atmospheric scientist but my understanding is as follows!
      Prediecting weather is mostly a huge computer problem that solves physics equations (fluid dynamics). Basically you measure the current weather conditions at regional or global scales (temperature, wind, humidity, etc…) and put that into super computers to predict what will happen next. However, they are only so accurate because of limitations of computer power and accuracy of our measurements.
