Daily Insights

Daily Insights

The Daily Insights screen lets you examine forecast accuracy at the station level for individual dates. Use this view when you need granular, day-by-day analysis of forecast performance.

Date Selection

Use the date picker at the top to select a specific observation date. Unlike the Monthly Insights screen (which uses a month picker), Daily Insights works with individual calendar dates.

Single Day-Out Selector

The day-out selector on this screen works differently from the range selector on other screens. Here, you select a single forecast day (Day 1 through Day 14) rather than a range. Quick-select buttons are provided for commonly used lead times (Day 1, 3, 7, and 14).

Station-Level Data

The main table displays individual station results for your selected date and day-out. Each row shows:

  • Station name and ID
  • Your forecasted value
  • Observed (actual) value
  • Error magnitude
  • Comparison against market average error

Station Detail Modal

Click on any station row to open a detailed modal view. The station detail modal provides:

  • Source data: The raw forecast and observation values
  • Error breakdown: Multiple error metrics for that station on that date
  • Provider comparison: How other providers in your market performed at the same station
  • Historical context: Recent performance trend at this station

Filtering and Sorting

Use the metric selector to choose which forecast variable to analyze. The table can be sorted by any column to quickly find your best- or worst-performing stations.

Use Cases

  • Station auditing: Investigate specific stations flagged by the AI Issues Finder
  • Quality assurance: Spot-check daily forecast quality across your station network
