What site do you use for weather forecast?

[Tinhack]

I generally get my local weather from my weather station. I also check the weather reports supplied by the three nearest airports for comparison. Where I am is all that matters. To get a week ahead look, I use the MSN weather link for my location.

If it's bad enough, I get alerts from the news or my phone. I can't change the weather, so I enjoy it, complain about it or hunker down.

I also use weather.com (the weather channel) and accuweather.com. Plus I watch my local TV station forecast. Between the three I get a rough idea what we are going to have for weather.

My favorite is the Weather Underground 10 day forecast. It is the best visual graphic, and dense with information.

For local weather in the morning I like Charlie Shortino on WMTV (just the weather with no added fluff). I also like the Weather Channel...nice and simple.

I check my phones weather but also note conditions. Here in Michigan a southeast wind is an indicator of rain regardless of the time of year. In winter it will warm up and rain. A mackerel sky is also a sign of rain within the next day. Thunderheads too. I also check the barometer. Spring weather is unstable and often harder to predict.

One thing I totally ignore is the weather from Al Roker. The first thing he wants to tell me is how many millions of people are affected by a weather system.

And then he starts speed talking and it all goes in one ear and out the other.

Do my own forecasting. Use the HRRR for immediate weather and NAM for 3 days.

If I need to look at history or figure out how much rain has fallen in a 48 hour period or want the skinny on a weather warning/watch I will turn to NOAA.

Almost everyone gets intel from NOAA for weather data......that may end as they are being hacked to shreds right now. They may not be functional for long.

I am sure you're right about both things. I have not heard a lot about NOAA firings but I bet they are happening as well.

I find that Weather Underground has the most accurate forecasts for me on the south end of Whidbey Island. But I think they got sold because the site is now really slow and even though I keep changing my station to one that is closer to me every time I use the site it changes the station to one that is farther away so I have to pick my station every time. Still, even though it is much slower and I have to deal with changing the station every time, I use it the most because of the better accuracy for my area.
