What Do You Find To Be More Reliable Weather Wise?

Been checking Accuweather until Weather.com sarted having my date available. They always have differences, but who do feel to be more on target?

I always forget about the whole thing once I'm down there LOL.

The US National Weather Service, no question.

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

... And from there stems the information to my favorite site, http://www.weather.com

Personal preference, but private sites such as AOL's, etc., use the national weather forecast as they do not have their own meteorologists deciphering computer models...

I prefer sticking my head out the window and looking around. Anything else is prone to error.

I have to agree- the National Weather Service is the best by far. Of course- the most accurate is the stick your head out the window but for weather worriers like myself the National Weather Service is a big help.
Wishing you lots of sun and warm temps

I stick my head out the door and check the websites.....I am a weather worrier too.......mostly for my special needs son who gets sick at the drop of a hat

Beyond 24 hours, they are all pretty much prone to error.
Got a kick out of one Weather Channel forecaster during this most recent snow we had. Came on the air, was pointing in the general area where I live and said "You COULD MAYBE even see 8-10 maybe even upwards of 15 inches of snow OR MORE before this one is thru"
There is a huge difference between 8 and 15 inches of snow. That kind of forecast is pure guesswork.
OH--we got just a smidge over 8".

Don't blame it on meteorologists. Blame it on turbulence itself, random and unpredictable by definition.

With all things that can and do happen up there, it is a miracle that models and forecasts come close enough to help people plan activities around the reports...

...You COULD MAYBE even see 8-10 maybe even upwards of 15 inches ...OH--we got just a smidge over 8".

Closer that the Farmer's Almanac or grampy's arthritis would have predicted for that day!!

That is a big difference, that's what prompted me to post, big difference between 63 and 74

When we are actually there in Dec. if the weather gets above about 73 we are outta the parks and head straight to the pool That weather turns FAST!
