The weather sites aren't all that accurate. Yesterday, weather.com said it would rain all weekend. Now, its going to be cloudly tomorrow and sunny on Sunday.

In all honesty I'd go by one of the local station's radar image if I was looking to see if it is raining in the Gorge, when it will move out, or when it might hit. As for trusting the weather forecast off of the internet or TV, better to take it as advice and not gospel. And never, ever trust the 'long range' forecast.

Accuweather = Optiweather
Weather.com = Pessiweather
At least that's what it seemed list this past spring. I haven't really compared them much lately.

It was definitely that way in the spring, I agree.

I figure why fuck with the middle men? Go straight to the source. NOAA is where all weather information originates. Yet another example of liberal goverment beaurocracy at work. If you read the discussions you'll get an idea of how difficult it is to predict weather around here. They speak in the kind of real world terms scientists and farmers use. None of them will ever be politicians.
Oh, and there are no ads or pop-ups.
