What's your favorite weather website?
 

Just curious at to what are your favorite weather websites...

Mine, as of late, are NOAA and Weather Underground.

For Marine, aviation, and severe weather I use NOAA. It provides more detailed
info than most would be able to understand. Constantly updated weather radar is nice!

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/


A little more user friendly site is provided by Weather Underground. Just plug in your city and state. A very easy to read forecast with current radar screen appears. IMHO much more detailed than weather.com or yahoo.

I'm curious to hear your opinions on the 2 sites I've listed...
Please share your favorite weather sites too!

I was just checking out the Farmer's Almanac site today!

Their weather section was much different than I expected - no divination via weasel entrails:

They claim 80% accuracy on forecasts and even post what their previous predictions were for the current period/day.

Excerpt:
We derive our weather forecasts from a secret formula that was devised by the founder of this Almanac, Robert B. Thomas, in 1792. Thomas believed that weather on Earth was influenced by sunspots, which are magnetic storms on the surface of the Sun.

Over the years, we have refined and enhanced that formula with state-of-the-art technology and modern scientific calculations. We employ three scientific disciplines to make our long-range predictions: solar science, the study of sunspots and other solar activity; climatology, the study of prevailing weather patterns; and meteorology, the study of the atmosphere. We predict weather trends and events by comparing solar patterns and historical weather conditions with current solar activity.

Our forecasts emphasize temperature and precipitation deviations from averages, or normals. These are based on 30-year statistical averages prepared by government meteorological agencies and updated every ten years. The most recent tabulations span the period 1971 through 2000.

We believe that nothing in the universe happens haphazardly, that there is a cause-and-effect pattern to all phenomena. However, although neither we nor any other forecasters have as yet gained sufficient insight into the mysteries of the universe to predict the weather with total accuracy, our results are almost always very close to our traditional claim of 80 percent.

I check weather.com every day.

This one's pretty slick:

Yeah, a plug-in is needed.

In the past I've always used weather.com, but I like the "weather underground" site.
