weather previsions?


I'm looking at both NOAA and weather.com websites, and both are way off from each other and their weather predictions. Which one is better/more accurate?

They all suck. I think as technology got better, they get less accurate at "guessing" the weather.

I think that meteorologists should be called fortune tellers.

I think they're accurate to within a few hours, but that's about all. The rest is just glorified guesswork.

Now I have what's really important for us MC people

radar on my cell phone (accuweather)

I can see the rain and not go there or around or wait it out.
Doesn't work everywhere but it has kept me dry a few times
I think it costs $3 per month

I agree. And my local news just pushed there extended forecast out to 10 days. Are you freakin kidding me, 10 days? Then usually cant get the next day right.

But to answer the original question I go with Intellicast.com you are get a nice radar loop on there too

You can move to Arizona where it's sunny 360 days a year. Every day you wake up you can bet money the sun will be out.

I hate New England with a passion, mainly because of the weather we get here. I hate the snow, and I hate the humidity.

I fell in love with the weather out there. I was there for 2 weeks and within those two weeks I never saw a single cloud in the sky!
