Where to get good weather info online?
 
Anything out there better or more accurate than weather.com?

noaa.gov is where the weather guys get their weather info!

+1 on wunderground
Been the most consistently accurate thing I have seen and they mirror the NOAA marine forecasts.

+ 1 on NOAA. Great time lapse maps and extended forecasts such as they are here in the Hudson River Valley of the NE.

I like accuweather.com, but the new interactive radar map at weather.com is cool. You can zoom into very local areas and you get sat Google Earth type imagery.

Accuweather guys also provide "contract weather" for paying customers. I'm almost sure they generate their own data.

From their site:

" Why choose AccuWeather for your weather forecasts?

AccuWeather, established in 1962, is the World's Weather Authority™.

FWIW.

Best,

Kurt

Everyone has their favorite, but only one site tells you who's the most accurate: www.weatherreportcard.com
