    Until yesterday I liked intellicast but then they had to go and join underground now it is a mess. I haven't been able to find one I like. How about some suggestions.

    I went to Intellicast quite often until I checked it the other day and saw the mess you describe. They are going to lose a hell of a lot of viewers with the garbage that's up there now.
    Can't even find current temps. map and my home weather station isn't even on their map.
    Accuweather was always one of my choices.

    Same here. Not liking the WU. I deleted the app off my phone. I never understood why they would share the same name as the infamous political party from the 1970's.:loco: :crazy:

    I use two local TV stations weather links and they are fine. The forecasters can be a bit distracting to look at...:whistle::D

    Right where I want to be.
    Mostly Accuweather, but they have an awful lot of auto-play crap that uses up bandwidth for no good reason (rural DSL sucks). If I want a video, I'll click on it, thank you very much.
    Anyway, I've also used Weather.com, NOAA, and a couple others.
    Accuweather and weather.com don't like my adblocker.:cool:

    Weather.com or weather.gov. Used to use accuweather until they started blocking their site for adblock users.
    Weather.com is starting to act like accuweather now with their adblock hating.

    I use Weather Bug on my fone.
    I like the lay out and no ads pop up. I hate The Weather Channel's ads...

    Thanks Brian, that looks decent. Certainly not accurate for some things but close enough.

    I especially like it for hurricanes and wind speed.

    I use the same one, as well as the The Weather Channel (not to be confused with the weather network, they use a dart board to forecast weather).The gov't one is usually fairly close and gotta love the jet stream map, and the weather channel while less fancy, lets you grab weather from all over and puts it on the same screen. That's really interesting to say the least. Did you know, Toronto and Anchorage are the same temp today?
