Why don't I see the current day in my weather forecast?

Your weather provider may not provide today's weather as part of their weather forecast. You may consider switching to a different weather provider. OpenWeatherMap is one of the weather integrations providing today's weather.

Why does the forecast show less days than expected?

Depending on your Home Assistant's configuration, your weather provider might deliver forecasts hourly. If this is the case, the weather integrations delivers 48 distinct forecasts (This corresponds to forecasts for the next 48 hours). You might want to consider supplying a weather entity which supplies daily forecasts for the card.

What does the card actually display?

The bars represent the temperature range for a given day. In the above image, the 9° on Thursday represents the low across all of the forecast days and the 21° represents the highs (i.e. all bars are from 9° to 21°). The colored portion of the bar represents the range of temperatures that are forecast for that day (so 12° to 21° on Monday). The circle represents the current temperature (16° or roughly midway between 12° and 21° in your case).

The basic idea of the forecast bars is to be able to understand the weather trend for the upcoming days in a single glance.
