The Maths Iz Phun!

Checking out the weather.com homepage for Longmont right now, I see this:

It's a little complicated, but the gist I want to get out is that the current temperature is 44 F, while the forecast high for today is 38 F.

Shouldn't there be some sort of failsafe against this happening? Some little piece of code which says, 'if the current temperature is higher than the predicted high, revise the predicted high to 3 degrees above the current temperature' or something like that?

Seems like one of those little things which would be easy to do, and really saves some of your credibility. Isn't this kind of like me staking my reputation, today, on the fact that Barack Obama will win the 2008 New Hampshire primary? I mean, I can't win...
