No poll, don't want to look them all up.

I look at the weather today on weather.com to see if I should ride my motorcycle to work. The forecast calls for rain about 1PM and the radar shows no rain in my area. I walk outside to check and it's raining. 😡
 
Another vote for wunderground, their forecasts tend to be pretty decent, and I like their hour-by-hour view in case you're planning to do something during the day and need to know what time rain is expected etc.

I have a simple radar app on my phone that I use when I want to see the radar. There are a few to choose from, but it's nice when they follow your location and allow you to zoom in on the map for an almost up to the minute view of the sky.

Is it a radar.weather.gov app?
 
I've always liked the Doplar radar that weather.com provides, but I am really getting annoyed with all the ads. It has really been terrible. They also recently changed their layout, and I am not thrilled with that either.

I'll have to check out some of these suggestions. A similar Doplar radar feature is really what will make my decision easy to switch sites.
 
Weather.com used to be great. Then they got the same marketing people that Entertainment tonight uses. I want to see the weather, I don't want to know about the 7 deadliest spiders (with a n extreme close up of a spider. Having spent 4 days in the hospital because of a black widow I am not that fond of spiders.) Now I go to weather underground. Seems pretty good.

This plus I have to enable like a half dozen scripts just to be able to access the 5 day preview.

Same. The clickbait shit on weather.com is awful.
 
wunderground, though i preferred the old site. still better than weather.com and all the click-bait bullshit.
 
Weather.com, AKA The Weather Channel, is terrible. Accuweather.com is great, wunderground is also very good.
 
Another vote for Wunderground.com, though they were bought by Weather.com. Fortunately, they haven't lowered it to the level of "Tomorrow the sky will make the ground wet. The bright thing in the sky might be bright later in the day." But give it time.

And this site for snowfall forecasts.
 
The local ABC news station. Their winter weather forecasts are the best in the area. I look at Weather.com if I want to see something on a national level.
