How are they making predictions five days in advance when all the public info I've been able to obtain from NWS only goes out three days and is usually not very accurate?

I'm also skeptical.

That article is dated yesterday as well, so an even earlier prediction.

I've checked https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/forecast-discussion and it looks to be saying it should remain relatively quiet into mid next week.

Maybe there will be something - but my usual sources are currently all pointing to "meh"
