What site do you use for weather forecast?

[Jstpssng]

For years I have used NOAA. Yet it seems like they read what other sites say, then change their forecast. I get tired of reading one thing, then talking to somebody who tells me an altogether different forecast which turns out to be right.

Pretty sure everyone gets their base data from NWS, which is part of NOAA.
I'm sure the play with models and change bits here and there to make it their own prediction...

I'm used to WU so generally look at it for my predictions. It's usually wrong, but in a predicable way for me - calls for more rain than we get and warmer than we get, but I'm used to the look of the tables so I can easily digest it and adjust.

Thank you. I had tried them via my search engine but because I have my location blocked, it would only give me weather for New York. Using your link I see that we are going to get snow tomorrow. Guess I'll go make sure that I have everything under cover.

I use weather.com (the weather channel) and accuweather.com. They seldom agree but an average of the two comes out fairly close to the actual weather.

I’ve been using weatherbug. The storm forecasts come from NWS for storms, and are usually pretty accurate.

It seems to me that Weather Underground is one of the less inaccurate ones,
you can localize it in the drop down tab (light blue) under there name and actually pick local reporting stations for you local for the current conditions,

The Weather Channel or AccuWeather

I use both my own weather station and weather underground. Been pretty accurate.

AccuWeather if I'm traveling. It seems to be more reliably accurate than the others. At home, Weather Underground. It lets you upload from your personal weather station and will start including your data and history in the forecast. That is where the undergound part came from.

That's the program I use on my phone. The local reporting station I chose is 1.2 miles away and on the west edge of town. It closely matches my Davis Vantage Vue monitor.

I use WU and the localized NWS forecast. WU just feeds the nearest metro area, which is not a great match, however, WU as @ning wrote, here it also tends to be inaccurate in predictable ways for us.

All the best,

I watch “Pacific Northwest weather watch” on utube for weather in the Pacific North West.

We are in southern BC and find Micheal’s forecast to be very accurate. He also does a California forecast as well.
I also have a Tempest weather station that has a fairly good forecast feature. The radar map is very accurate for rainfall intensity and timing.

NOAA/NWS. They have the technology that other weather services access and use. When I used to do wildfire management, we would always get a NWS weather forecaster to come to fire camp and set up their equipment. I’ve worked with these people and know that they run their models and use real time atmospheric data to make their forecasts. Of course they sometimes miss the mark, but what other sources don’t.

I use the Bureau Of Meteorology website.

I can simply enter my postcode to bring up my 'local' BoM weather station, which is about 7 km away @ the aerodrome. It gives me a good future indication of what's coming my way.

I mostly use the Apple built in weather app.
While traveling long distance I often take a quick look at

Same for me. The NWS does offer the short daily forcasts, but if you sift through all the open doors on their site, you will find a wealth of information. I particularly like to use the "Forecast Discussion" link at the bottom of the local forecast to read in detail what's really coming up and also how much confidence the forecaster has in the data/models being viewed.

At least for KY, they also have a slide presentation up on the main office homepage for severe weather events and its timing that are constantly updated. Very helpful. I suspect a lot of other weather sources depend heavily on the NWS information...

Weather Channel they been pretty much spot on this winter.
