Recommending Weather Underground.

No, not the 70's radical political group.


This is a great weather website. They pull info from the National Weather Service as well as multiple "backyard" weather stations.


My favorite feature is their radar map. Click on the radar image and you get a highly customizable weather radar. I can zoom in for a more precise information, but I like to keep the entire state visible.

There are several tweaks you can apply to the map. I max it out to 6 frames animation. this is usually about 20 minutes of radar info. The REALLY cool part is, I leave it in a tab in Firefox and it just keeps updating. I've had it up several days already with no problems. So I just click on the tab to check and 2 seconds later I've had my weather fix.

Here's the site.
