What is the best web site for weather forecasting from both an accuracy and presentation standpoint?

I have tried many sites including weather.gov, weather.com, wunderground.com, yahoo weather, google weather, etc. and there is a wide difference in the forecasts and presentation. Which is the best combination and is there a consensus on the best?

If you want accuracy, you'll definitely have to pay money... but here are some other free websites:

http://www.accuweather.com/

http://www.myforecast.com/
Asker's Rating:
• I would like to hear about the pay sites that are worth trying. Thanks!

www.wunderground.com

I don't think any site is more 'accurate' than any other. It's all basic science with a lot of guessing.

I like wunderground because pulling up the local radar (with animation) is very quick and easy and the forecast is laid out very well.

When I visited http://doineedanumbrella.com/ and put in my zip code, it returned "invalid zip code".

I probably should tell our post office employees.

I have to second weather.com. While it is not innovative in any way, they do have the resources to put up a quality site.

However if you happen to live in Oklahoma, the heart of tornado alley and the storm chasing capital of the world, go to Oklahoma Weather Roundup at http://weather.ou.edu/wx/ It has every weather parameter you could possibly need to know to plot your very own chase trip!

peace,
joe

I always go to www.wunderground.com. I think it is built in a very professional way and has everything what I need and also it has integration with Google Earth.
On the down side, I think they have a buggy code that computes the precipitation probabilities, but if you use common sense you can make it up.
