Weather or Accuweather?
 
I'm going to the States this weekend, to assist a wedding in Plano, TX (north of DFW). I usually check the weather forecast few day before. And I'm seeing for this saturday the same temp but few showers at weather.com (Chance of rain 30%)and time of sun and clouds at accuweather.com (13% chance of thunderstorms).

I always find different forecast on both websites. Often FAR different. I've read they use different "algorithms" to do the forecasts. Anyway, though I know it's never 100% accurate, what website do you trust more? Any of these or another one?

Flip a coin and you will always come up with a 50% chance of rain.

I listen to NOAA WX radio plus WCBS news 880 .

Or look out the window.

Seems horoscopes are more reliable than weather forecasts.

However many people always read the horoscope.

My phone's widget for Austin, TX weather is through AccuWeather, and it hasn't gotten me into a ton of trouble, FWIW.

I use NOAA http://www.noaa.gov/
or my local NBC station, WALB.

My friend is a police officer and has said they use www.intellicast.com. I like it as it's simple and streamlined. :cool:

The Weather channel now is owned by NBC/Universal which run by Comcast, Blackstone Group and Bain Capital.

The Weather Channel was great under the ownership of Landmark Communications before the mergers started.

I hate mergers. Employees and the product always gets screwed at the end.

That explains why the Weather Channel sucks.
