Accuweather.com and Weatherchannel.com are two good ones ..

To me I think that accuweather is more accurate...I think the site set up is better too!!!! :sunny:
 
I'm from the "open the window and stick your head out" school of weather prediction :sunny:

Both of my trips to the Orlando area have shown me that the weather is both unpredictable, and quick to change (at least in the fall). I have seen it go from biblical downpour to sunny with steam rising from the pavement in 15 minutes time. So even if it starts to rain, it probably won't last long.
 

I like accuweather because it gives you the "feels like" or "real feel" temperature. Plus they do a 15 day forecast.
 
Use all of the above - weather channel, accuweather, underground weather, local Orlando TV station websites to obtain a forecast for Disney.

But take each with a grain of salt for an exact prediction out to 15 days. Instead look for trends in the weather - i.e. temperature and precipitation.

And prepare for the worse :thumbsup2

the weather channel is the worst 'weather' 'station' in existance. they are all just parrots reapeating what the real weather stations are saying.

weatherunderground.com is top notch

I don't let extended weather predictions influence or ruin my vacation. Thats all they are is a guess and there's nothing you can do about it so why bother, fuss and worry. A rainy day at Disney is better then a sunny day at home. On those unpredictable rain days we've discovered so many new things to see and do around Disney property, either in DTD, FW or just around our resort or others, its all a grand time.

I rely most often on the National Weather Service website. Here's the page for Orlando: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/forecast/MapClick.php?CityName=Orlando&state=FL&site=MLB

I like their various animated weather maps, as well as their text descriptions of weather events.


This is my favorite too. No ads, just weather from the source. You can go to www.noaa.gov and type in your city name and zip code and it will go right to the weather page for that area. If you're really into weather forecasting, they even have text forecast discussions where the meteorologists tell why they've predicted what they think will happen.
