You don't have to be a meteorologist to know the forecast changes quickly.

on Monday and Tuesday of this week the second half of your 7-, 10-, or 14-day forecast on your app of choice drastically changed. Suddenly upper 80s were randomly appearing toward the middle of next week. But if you looked a few hours later, temperatures changed drastically again ... falling by some 20 degrees. A few hours later, they went back up ... and it's been this endless cycle of up and down since. Weather apps are almost entirely automated.

Clearly, the temperatures listed in each release 6 hours apart are drastically different. Meteorologists are taught all of this in school and we see trends like this daily, but the "average Joe or Jane" would not know this and just adds more fuel to the fire that "meteorologists can't get it right." This is just the reality when using a computer model because it is asked to come up with one solution for a set of data every time it runs.
