Yes, NOAA runs multiple computer models and weighs the combined results. Yet even after many years of development and validation against real world storms, they still have a hard time pinpointing the exact time and location of impact more than 48 hours in advance. Please consider that the next time someone claims their unvalidated model can predict the climate 100 years in the future.
