I load wunderground and I see the current stats on the weather (which is what I want), the predicted hi/lo (which is what I want) and a radar map, which I may or may not want. Then I have a list of weather stations and can pick the one nearest me (or not, sometimes I pick one near where I am going) to get all the info any weather dweeb would ever want. But most the time I check the weather it is on my iPhone or iPad and I use the Yahoo Weather app for that, or forecast.io. > I hope web sites that are deliberately awful start going out of > business.
