Question for the professional weather guys on this site

[JSmoove]

What weather website do you guys suggest to use? My intent is not to make this the "most accurate site" debate (although that is what one would want in looking for a good weather site). Looking for a website that's informative and tells me everything I need to know in an easy and intuitive layout.

I've become increasingly tired of weather.com, its bull **** pop culture videos and all around crappy layout. Don't care about what was found at the bottom of a lake or what animal I'll never believe survived a 30' drop from a building. Just tell me the temp and if it's suppose to rain or not. Maybe a cool weather related fact or some records of some sort.

How else would you know the name of the current snow storm if not for weather.com?

National Weather Service.

weather.gov

The web and mobile sites for weather.gov are about as fast as you can get. Not much for graphics, but nice for a quick forecast. And I am not a weather professional either.

I prefer Iowa State's Meteogram site for the non detailed thing. The link below is for Cedar Rapids.

Also, I'm not a professional weather guy, but I am a French model.

Not a pro, but I use a combination of weatherunderground and weather.gov. They tend to be pretty reliable.

weather.gov

Same here... I think their hourly weather graph is the best way to communicate detailed forecast information I've seen to date.

I, also, am not a professional.

Since I read this on the internet it must be true.

For the casual weather inquiries... weather.gov. Locally produced forecasts whereas weather.com comes from someone sitting in Atlanta, if not straight up a comuter. Who do you think is going to have a better forecast?

Or your favorite media outlet's weather website or mobile app.

You non-pros need to stfu!!!

I'm not a pro and I use nws, local news, and snowforecast.com for longer range outlooks.

Just find somebody who's had both knees replaced and ask them. I personally go to my grandfather. He's right every time.

I use weather.gov, johndee.com, and the ISU Meteogram Generator for most all of my weather.

If I want to watch the development of winter storms for the area i like to follow the accuweather.com forums. The forums are very structured and have rules about wishcasting and such. One thing I'm not to crazy about in the forums is that many of the winter storm posters are from michigan, ohio, and on east- they get pretty sour when they dont get the weather and other places do. There are a few posters from Iowa and are quite informative. Good place to watch the weather.
