I've been checking weatherunderground.com, but I would like to see what else is available. I'm looking for something with current weather, 5-day forcasts, and storm watch/warnings. Thanks!

I like the weather channel site and also the NOAA site for warnings.

Honestly, I just use Yahoo's weather. Of course in the Pacific Northwest, we don't actually expect it to be accurate for more than a day out. But they do a good job of updating it as things change and usually get it pretty close.

Weather Channel and NOAA are the two I use, also. Here are links -

I second weather.com. I use it all the time. You can also look up hour by hour forecasts as well.

There's a nifty lil weather widget you can plop on your desktop that will show the 5 day based upon your zip code also - it's not always perfect but what weather forecast is? ;)

http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=38248 it's "built into" the Konfabulator download package now - but just in case you already have Konfabulator but don't have the Yahoo Weather widget - there's the link.

You'd need the "Konfabulator" engine here of course to run it: http://widgets.yahoo.com/

Just don't load up too much on the Widgets (they're addictive) or it'll end up slowing down your computer. I have about 6 different ones running on my secondary computer at home and never had any issues - even while burning DVD's.

Yep, we just use weather.com. It's the easiest for me to remember and they seem to be fairly accurate--or as accurate as one could be with a weather forecast. But the other thing is that it's very easy to navigate, which is always a plus for me.

I downloaded that thing after reading your post, and I love the graphics on that thing! Thanks for that. :)

a little late too, but DH uses weatherbug.com, like the widget that pp suggested, you can add it to your desktop....dh, who is ALWAYS annoyingly on top of the weather (he has a family commercial landscaping/snow removal business, so he needs to know winter weather, or rain forecasts) uses this and it seems to be pretty accurate. BUT it does "chirp" VERY VERY annoyingly EVERY time the temp changes, EVERYTIME, even if it's only a degree! so that's it's con.

me personally, i like weather.com too!
