• Weather forecasts have become much more accurate

  The Dark Sky (now Apple Weather) acquisition somehow went worse than those IBM ones. Not only is it less accurate than Dark Sky used to be, it’s somehow managed to be less accurate than pre-acquisition Apple Weather. https://weather.gov/ still works (type your zip code into the box on the top left), thankfully. I’m worried weather.gov is only one election cycle away from being decommissioned. Lobbyists from... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Weather.gov 2.0

  Some other kind soul , which led to which led to https://weathergov-design.app.cloud.gov/point/35.198/-111.651 containing the banner "This is a beta site. https://weather.gov/ remains the authoritative source of weather information." so chances are it's that https://weathergov-staging.app.cloud.gov/point/35.198/-111.651... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Where to watch weather forecasts

  I'll leave one more source, which is your weather.com - which takes their data from weather.gov and tweaks it slightly. Source: 6 months ago

• Do Floridians trust weather forecasts? Worried about my upcoming bachelor party.

  That's nearly a week out, the weather in Florida is extremely bipolar. Until you are within ~2 days of the day you're looking to forecast, it probably won't be accurate, and even then it could change on a dime. But when you do get to point in time, you can use https://weather.gov to get the forecast from the local NWS office. Source: 6 months ago

• Everyone should wait before buying electron

  You are taking a government-run website and comparing it to a GAME, man some of you kids are truly detached from the real-world jesus christ. Also weather.gov isn't a paid service, its free... Source: 6 months ago

• (Mac) Adguard for Safari vs Firefox Extension - same filter lists, different results

  This is driving me nuts and not sure how to deal with it. As noted using Adguard for Safari and Firefox and selected the same options/filter lists and getting different filter results. This is on the "wundermap" on wunderground.com. For example this page: https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap?lat=40.731&lon=-73.987&zoom=8&radar=1&wxstn=0. Source: 9 months ago

• What to do on Rainy Days

  Use wunderground.com. It's like 21% at the highest (but showing 5% in Goleta). There isn't an actual NWS forecasting out this way, so they are extrapolating. Not to mention that means 5-20% of the area will see precipitation, which could include areas in that you don't care about (eg. Up in the mountains). Source: about 1 year ago

• Repeat yesterday today and copy and paste

  Why does the Storm Prediction Center have us in a marginal risk for tomorrow (Sat.?) The hourly forecast on weather.com and wunderground.com only show possible thunderstorms at 5 a.m. Sat. Morning but the text says "A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible" Sat. night. When is the time frame for the marginal risk the Storm Prediction Center is talking about? Trying to plan my Saturday, thanks. Source: about 1 year ago

• Small Weather Station

  A good old fashioned barometer is your time tested best bet. When it's in the gutter, tie your mother down... Otherwise, I suggest wunderground.com. Type in your zip code, then select 10 day forecast. You can drag the slider hour by hour. And it's usually pretty darn accurate. Source: about 1 year ago

• Grappling between booking venue in March for cheaper vs a nicer month at a higher price. East Tennessee location.

  Oooh, that's a great idea to visit this March so you can get a feel for it! I also should have mentioned that wunderground.com is the only place I've found that has the historical weather data. :/. Source: over 1 year ago
