Mueden has pointed out that, as I inaccurately stated in the caption above, predictions don't show what is happening. What I intended to say was that the lower line on the chart traces the tides as they were predicted months ago (I can't say how many months, but I have the calendar showing the tides anticipated every day of 2010). In real time, updates are made several times a day; therefore the upper line traces the tides for the next few days as forecast at the last updating -- in this case, at 9:00 PM on January 9. Still the future, true, but presumably much closer to the current reality. Owl-eyed reader G.F.
