Which do you think is the most accurate weather resource

[DdBob]

the weather channel or accuweather or some other ? I personally think probably the weather channel is but accuweather is pretty close. The funnest is Carrot weather ( the AI dishes out some abuse) and you do have the option to use accuweather as a premium option.
so what says you ?

I'm partial to DarkSky.net, but Apple bought them last year and is the process of shutting them down.

generally.....NOAA
since they're the ones who provide the info to everyone else and own the satellites.

I really use Storm Radar with NOAA alerts.
Storm uses the weather network for forecasts and stuff, though.

dark sky has been the default source for Carrot weather all along so yes i heard about that. i believe accuweather will now be the default. BTW the apple weather app is better than it was in the past (still minimalist but there is more detail if you look around)

The weather frog, obviously.

Shadow Weather has developed into a decent alternative on Android since Apple pulled Dark Sky. Not sure if its also on iOS.

Weather Underground is pretty good...

I found that relying on my head out the door as being 100 percent accurate .

I have major contempt for weather/radio television.

Weather Channel shit should be banned.

Weather should only ever be discussed in television/radio news if there’s a major storm or natural disaster.

Check online if you’re travelling or boating or flying.

Long-range forecasts info should never be able given to the media or to the public.

This is my firm position. If you disagree with this position, then I’m afraid to say that you are deeply incorrect.

I use Max Tracker for hurricane season. Otherwise I don't particularly care what the weather will be.

I keep a NOAA weather radio for tornado warnings.
Otherwise, I use the go outside method.

Im gonna go old school and say the meteorologist on the local news

ours usually does a good job of laying out uncertainties, limitations of various models, if/then scenarios, judgement calls, etc so you understand the information behind the forecast and don’t just get married to “it’s gonna rain on Saturday”

I just look at my phone and the weather is on the lock screen. If I need more information I just google “boulder weather.”

When I lived in Rapid City in 80’s there was a weather guy notoriously funny for being wrong. His bit was he would come on and be like missed here. Realizing we’ve come a long way with predictions since then, I guess one could hop, skip, and jump around the planet now with all the weather satellites. I don’t even know what app I look at but sometimes I look and it reads rain starting in the next 10 minutes. Some times it’s close. Some areas I would think are easier to forecast than others.

During hurricane season I listen to Tropical Tidbits. I stay away from TWC as they treat storms like it was the Super Bowl.

TWC tries to play off their doom and gloom sensationalism as "We're keeping you safe". I hate them.

what about if you are planning to go camping in the sticks in 5 days and you need to know whether to bring what gear or also what if you are throwing a pool party and you need to know whether you should buy ingrediants for hot toddys or for margaritas ?
