No, they don't, since the weather is chaotic.

I mean, there are the theorems about how close you can get, and models are not better than theoretically possible.

Yeah, I wish more people understood that it is simply not possible to make precise long-term forecasts of chaotic systems. Whether it is weather, financial markets, etc.

It is not that we don't know yet because our models are inadequate, it's that it is unknowable.
