Yeah, so weather.com sucks, and a friend just pointed out to me that there's a weather.gov website which is more accurate and isn't full of ads.

Tax dollars at work.

What must-have products can I buy from weather.gov?

The Weather Channel uses NWS reporting a lot, and it also has per-hour forecasts.

 

[SyNapSe]

Weather.gov sponsored by Amazon.com!

I'll take a look at it

 

[perryfarrell]

I also like Wunderground.com

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

Damn, that website looks like it came from 1998.

But I hate those weather.com ads with those stupid computer animated people dancing about refinancing their house or getting a degree.

The best source for this is if you're lucky enough to get the Weather Channel-knock off channel, where they just run the five day forecast and current conditions crawls over and over. There's nothing worse than turning on the Weather Channel to see if there's a storm coming and getting a show about the History of Tornadoes.

This...this!

I just use the weather widget on my imac dashboard, or the weather widget on my iphone - they seem to be accurate enough.

www.weather.gov/<zipcode>, where <zipcode> is five digit number where you want to know the weather, is the the easiest and best quick forecast site around, fact.

wunderground for supergeeky stuff and hurricane seaon

Bu-bu-bu-but then there's no neat shows to watch on Weather Channel HD about the top 100 weather moments in history!

Though I will admit to watching a special the other day covering the Challenger accident due to the cold weather.

The fucking feds knew where I was posting from without even putting in my ZIP code.

Weather Fox for the win. Directly linked to Accuweather, which is the best of the bunch IMO.

I switched to weather.gov permanently after the attempt to put through the National Weather Service Duties Act of 2005 a few years ago.

Reason enough for me. If it's not private or for national security there is no reason government information should be freely accessed by the public.

Then make the layout nicer, dammit!

Also, that ABC News article from 2005 is interesting. Go figure, good old Rick Santorum was behind it. So glad we voted his ass out.

I have had a quick-link in my browser for TWC for years and I'm happy to switch over. Thanks for the link.

Actually, I use this for everything. But yes, good site.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Wonderground is the weirdest site ever. They have blogs about weather. Not only that, people COMMENT on blogs about weather.
