Where do you get your weather info?

I have four sites I use, actually: weather.com, National Weather Service, AccuWeather.com, and Intellicast. I think weather.com and AccuWeather are usually the closest to reality.

I go to the web site of the local TV station. Wonder which answer I should have chosen....

Weather alert radio. connected to NOA weater site!

I use the National weather service's websites at http://www.erh.noaa.gov/
I also like to look at these satellite picture to get the big picture...http://www.ghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/

I go to the NOAA website..I an plug in my zip code and get a 5 day forecast and if I follow some links I can get 10 days..they are pretty accurate.. Lately I have been going to accuweather.com and looking since they have a 15 day forecast.. their temps seem to change every day though

I use Weather Underground, which is actually the National Weather Service forecast. I find it more accurate for here than the Weather Channel. The Weather Channel probably finds my area pretty boring anyway. We don't usually have any weather that can be sensationalized.

Weatherbug.com

I use NOAA most of the time, but my big toe is a really good predictor of storms, LOL.

From NOAA: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge/radar.php?rid=JAX&product=NCR&overlay=11101111&loop=yes. First, I look at the local radar and then go to the local forecast page. However, I just discovered that the weather channel now has a new interactive radar map (a beta version) where you really can zoom into your area.

I use www.wunderground.com because it has weather from a local weather station in Halifax, VA close to my house.

I look out the window.

I look outside... seriously, TX weather is crazy, and ain't no weatherman going to tell me what's coming.. It's so flat here, I have a hundred plus miles' notice on any adverse weather.

Do you mean forecast or current conditions? I use the local TV weather maven -- he's very accurate most of the time -- for forecasts. But I have an indoor-outdoor thermometer which I record from, and I note the weather (by looking outside, or walking in it) in my journal. I also compare my journal entries year-to-year to predict blooming times.

I get my weather info by looking outside! The weathermen are hardly ever right!

I guess I could say computer also...there is a little square that has the temp and if you click on it you get the forecast for the week...forgot about it

tv duh!!!!! wat nerd would get on the internet just to c wat the weather is like???????????????????????????????

Out the back door!
And occasionally on the internet and the evening news .

I look at the newspaper first and I also look at the Indy 6 weather forcast. Both are for 4 days.

I have one of those Hi Tech weather indicators:
If this rock is wet - its raining
If this rock is hot - sun shine
If this rock is white - snow


That's about the only devise other than my on 5 senses that has ever worked for me.

I use the internet with accuweather for my zip code....If the weather is of concern, I call my brother who subscribes, as a farmer who has to have more accurate info., for all the exact details. You would not believe what these farmers pay for weather information which is so much more accurate than what I regularly get.

I get the weather report and news from my gossipy neighbor. There's no point in watching the news in this house. lol

I think accurate weather is of more importance to some people's economic well being than others...I would ask my neighbor, too, but I need good weather reporting.....especially when the hurricane season starts and the crops are still in the fields.

I get it from the Internet primarily -

http://wunderground.com
http://weather.com

And also from the radio, http://www.wtvn.com

My sinuses tell me when the weather is going to change significantly!
Otherwise, it's "all of the above" except the Almanac.
Fave on the web are weather underground and weather.com.

My scarecrow - a lot like Islandshari:

If the long sleeves on the outfit are blowing I know it's windy
If she's wet I know it's raining
If her hat is covered with white I can bet we've had snow

pirl, just out of curiosity....i keep seeing your name and remember someone named pirl always being on the same yahoo question and answer in the plant section all the time.....are you one and the same??? Once I found DG I never went back to Yahoo Q&A,,,
gail

I've never been on Yahoo. I know where I got my name from so it does make me curious about the name and how she got it.

We usually check weathercentral.com (Also check outside the windows and doors, of course!)

Accuweather. It has been pretty good worldwide.

weather.com here also. I like the 10 day forecast plus it's probably one of the most accurate out there.

MSN too, gives a 5 or 10 day report, plus more detail if wanted.

A few people have mentioned looking outside to see what the weather is. When I was working, I worked on the second floor of a windowless building. It was easier to check the weather by looking on the internet than to go downstairs and down the hall and look out the door.

weather.com 99% of the time

I use noaa....

The weather network for me. I didn't even realize there were so many others.

NWS site.

Wunderground.com is my home page; but frankly, my joints are sometimes more accurate. They always know when it's going to storm.

I love my Wunderground for our home forecast
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=37803

and for comparisons I can check weather anywhere just by entering a zip code

I get my weather from www.noaa.gov. verry acurate!!!!!
