More Confusion

I'm looking at the Wunderground weather report/forecast for the local area. I see the following:

"Today is forecast to be NEARLY THE SAME temperature as yesterday." (Caps are in green, evidently inserted into surrounding boilerplate.)

"Today High 58 Low 43 F Yesterday High 43.2 Low 40.2 F"

A fifteen-F higher high is "NEARLY THE SAME"?

(In my experience, more than ten-F merits a "MUCH WARMER/COOLER" on WU.)

I find that weather.gov (NOAA's for-the-public website, where you can type in a city,state or zip code and get the forecast for that place) does a much better job with both accuracy and lack of unnecessary bells and whistles than any of the websites that basically just regurgitate either NOAA or Accuweather or both.
