Calling all weather nuts..
I always check the weather forecast before heading out and if you haven't stumbled on https://www.wunderground.com it's a brilliant weather site and believe it's far superior to weather.com or anything else I've found.
What's your favorite weather site?

wunderground rocks...I've paid the 10 bucks for better radar for several years now. Best weather on the 'net, bar none.

I typically use NOAA, but I do like the better zoom capabilities of wunderground's radar.

I use intellicast.com and have been very happy with it. Don't have to pay for anything.

Guys, no matter what you get, forcast are always wrong, sometimes they are right, but you have to understand they use supercomputers, sure they are the best that CPUs have to offer, but it always has the percentage of being wrong. I see that many times lately the forcast were way off. I think the best way to predict the weather is to look outside, if its dark and gloomy its a good thing to stay home, if its bright and sunny, ride your bike to shreds. Just my .02 cents.
p.s. I use, weather.com but I will give the o.p.'s website a shot.

you guys actually believe weather forecasts? the best weather forecast is to stick your head out of the window. or maybe do some kind of voodoo ritual.

When I stick my head out the window I can't see as far or in as many directions as the radar can. It REALLY helps knowing if the 20 minute commute will be wet or not.

Wunderground has a nice layout but usually has the same forecast as accuweather and weather.com. I like NOAA but they're all completely unreliable. Imposing clouds = rain gear in my pockets no matter what the forecast says.

I like being able to click on the "scientific discussion" link at wunderground, a discussion I can sometimes understand.

I've been using wunderground for years. The "stick your head out the window" stuff is silly. With wunderground I can see the (close to) real time track of storm cells and fit rides into the appropriate time and direction windows. It's very cool watching the change in temps in front of and behind moving fronts. Lots more great info easily accessed.
