Reliable Weather Info?
 
Does anyone know of a good place to find reliable weather info online? I travel a lot and haven't found a good site.

I use weather.com and have been pretty much happy with it. The biggest problem is that in some cities weather is almost impossible to accurately predict!

Check out weather.com. You pick your destination and in seconds the weather is there. Great for business travelers, outdoors people, vacationers...you get the point.

Jim, what do you define as "reliable"? As the above response noted, in many places it is very difficult to predict the weather. I have found most forecasting services to be the same: ask them what the weather will be like a week from now and you take your chances; ask them what it will be like a day or two in advance and they stand a good chance of being right; ask them in the morning about the afternoon and they probably will be right quite a bit.

The secret with getting the best/most accurate info from weather.com is to check it regularly. It'll give a forecast, day by day, for a week. And, as each day passes, keep rechecking the forecast. You'll usually see changes--usually of the slight-change rather than dramatic-change variety.
