weather site

“anyone know of a good one? i've been checkin the weather for the ga/nc at hike next weekend on accuweather.com and it changes every 10 min. sometimes it says rain on sat, sometimes not, sometimes it says 25 fri night, sometimes 45. i know it's over a week away but does anyone use another site?”

“I say go to the source...

The National Weather Service”

“Try www.weather.com/common/home/localweather.html”

“I've had good luck with the weather bug at http://ww2.weatherbug.com/aws/default.asp?cid=1 The adds are annoying, but the content is real good. Also, http://www.intellicast.com is OK.”

“wwww.weathertap.com
It's $6 a month, but you get the best data available. You get hi res satelight and radar undated every 6 minutes which is the fastest update time possible (it's the time required for a full sweep), plus they have some other really nice products like variable heigth radar and radial velocity scans.

If you don't want to pay anything, I recomend this site
this site It contains a bunch of links to other really good sites. Some of it may be over a lot of peoples heads, but most of it is very usefull.”

“http://www.boi.noaa.gov/firewx.htm

Click on the area of interest.

Forecasts are by county or other specific area.”

“Why would you pay to see the weather?????

“www.accuweather.com is another very good one. I like how it keeps track of temperatures dating back one year, and compares them to the normal highs and lows.”

“I'm with ya JOSH. At least when Friday is listed at 25 then Sunday is 45, and vice versa. At least we know we'll have one day at 25, we just don't know which one. I've been checking for Andrews, NC which is nearby and at 2400'. We'll probably be camping at 4000', so it'll be colder for sure.”

“Deathmarch is the resident weather man of TT, listen to him”

“The pay site offers the fastest updates and the highest resolution images, plus it's the only site I have ever seen that offers multi level radar images. Most public sites update every 20 to 60 minutes, but this site updates every 6 minutes. It also doesn't suffer from overflow when major weather events are happening, so it's much more reliable.”

“You are the man DM (the weather man). So do you think the weather is really getting crazier? Ha And what's up with all the kids getting asthma these days? And one more thing---is the answer REALLY blowing in the wind?”

“The answer my friend is advecting in the wind, the answer is advecting in the wind.”

“thanks everybody for the info. lots of places to get weather for me now.”
