I use wunderground.com, I do not claim it to be the best, but I like it's radar interface better than anything I've played with that didn't come with it's own radar dish.
However, when I want to get really geeky, I use a few other things. adds.aviationweather.noaa.gov has the weather reports and forecasts for airports worldwide. These will also include the little tiny aistrips scattered all over. They will require you to learn the code they use. And, you can get the same report for the nearest location to you on wundergound, and it is translated.
The other resource I use is a forecasting tool called meteograms. Several places produce and report them, here is one https://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/nammeteograms/ Again, they will require some skill to read, but they will tell you likely rain events, quantity of rain, humidity, wind, wind direction, cloud heights and coverage, and etc. on a graph spanning a multi-day forecast period.
Enjoy some good weather-geekery!
