extended forecast

Week-ahead weather outlook

An extended forecast is a weather prediction covering several days to a week or more, beyond the typical one- to three-day outlook.

Accuracy decreases as the timeframe lengthens, but extended forecasts help with planning travel, events, or outdoor activities: The extended forecast shows rain through the weekend.
