Where Do You Get Your Weather Report and Forecast?
What website do you get your weather forecast from, and why.
Me I use Wunderground for my weather forecast, because I love how you can view home weather stations instead of only the local station. And I love how you can create an account and interact in a community setting, IE blogs, photos, etc.

Primarily I use the National Weather Service’s website for my weather information.
The reason Why is that NOAA’s National Weather Service is the primary source of weather data, forecasts, and warnings for the United States. Television weathercasters and private meteorology companies prepare their forecasts using NOAA information. The National Weather Service is also the sole United States official voice for issuing warnings during life-threatening weather situations.
The weather forecasts or warnings delivered by our local weather forecaster are based on weather information collected and disseminated by NOAA’s National Weather Service.
And the other reason is that media can tend to over or under exaggerate the information and the NWS just provides the cold hard facts.
