Here's a great place to check weather forecasts:
Accuweather.com (http://wwwa.accuweather.com/)

Personally I like the WeatherBug I got with the new version of AIM. Provides me with weather alerts even when I'm visiting other sites. I prefer the one in the AIM bundle as opposed to the one that WeatherBug offers on their site. I can handle the small ads that the AIM version has, but I won't stand for the Adware and Spyware that's bundled with the free non AIM version.

I get my info from here.

Under the "Additional Forecasts & Information there is a "Hourly Weather Graph" link. It's not perfect, but does help me to plan some rides. I don't know how well other areas are covered though.

Thats not really true. google around and check that statement.... I thought it was as well, but reportedly not...

Working on computers for 24+ years I have a bit of experience in the field, and in the last few years Weatherbug has been a HUGE source of problems. I cant even begin to tell you what I have seen that program destroy. I love weatherbug though, they have earned my company over $5,000 in repair money (eg. uninstall weatherbug, reboot, bill customer $80, leave).

Weather Watcher is a better choice.

weatherbug is another spammy mcspambot
