Checking the weather

[dana86]

What sites or resources do you use to check on the upcoming weather reports? 

This is is brought to you by the fact that lately since moving to a "smartphone" recently, I have discovered the weather.com app. It's so easy to just pull it up and see but the temps vary a bit from say king 5 weather. Granted weather .com is supposedly more broken down for my area but I find it hard to believe that what they say will be mid/ high 80's this week on king 5, weather.com says it's going to be low/ mid 90's. 

So so what resources do you use and are they fairly spot on?

Google cards. Or whatever the real name is. It works well here at least.

Usually just the weather app on my iPhone. I follow a couple of the local news stations on social media too and they post lots of updates but I like to obsess over the hourly forecasts. Despite them always being wrong.

I like Google weather. I still use Weatherbug, on occasion, but the hourly forecasts are usually way off.

I usually just use my weather app for day to day. If I want to look more closely, or want something I feel is more accurate, I go to www.weather.gov. Particularly this page that we used all the time when my job was tied to the weather..
www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/wxtables/index.php?lat=47.66836&lon=-122.37696

It takes a bit to get used to reading it, but I find it to generally more pessimistic and more accurate than other sites. Just enter the zip code of the area you are interested (only works in W. Washington and parts of Oregon).

This is me all the time. I grumble when the weather is above 70  

I read the farmer's almanac every year hoping there will be a long term forecast for snow

My favorite app is the Weather Puppy App. It shows a different puppy every time you check the weather, and it seems pretty accurate to me.
