Anything but Weather Underground (the link on the right of the home page). Accuweather AccuPop seems to be pretty accurate.

I like weather.com because they are usually completely inaccurate and a little pessimistic, therefore, climbing is always a little better than I expected.

Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.

Weather.com has some of the good resources and tools but their accuracy is off.

http://www.weather.gov/ has the most resources if you know how to read weather patterns.

I go to Unisys Weather http://weather.unisys.com/ to get the data directly and take out the middle weatherman/woman/website.
