At first I thought it was just the weathermen. But my god yahoo weather has been so off. According to them right now in NYC 11:12am it is thunderstorming. Weird, I'm looking out my window and see sun. 2nd day in a row they have gotten it so wrong. I know... cmon all you anti-establishers... let's boycott Yahoo (sarcasticly proclaimed).

I too, use NOAA and another one called weatherunderground (i like the animated dopler better there). Weather.com has gone to hell, i can barely find where the weather is on that site.

weather.com is usually accurate, but often their forecasts are off by about 3-6 hours.

I wonder who was first

As for weather forcasts, I stand on the porch, look at the sky and decide whether I need a jacket or not .

It is for the NYC area not just NYC. Someplace has some rain but lucky not here. It was a GOOD DAY.
