Another vote for Accuweather; even the hour by hour prediction is pretty good.

I have the MyRadar Pro app for my iHipster;  it does a better job pushing out weather alerts than TWC app.
Has different map layers, radar types and also tracks hurricanes, tropical storms and other types of warnings.  Pretty cool to use.

Accuweather and Weather Underground. Both are really accurate from my perspective.

The nice thing about Accuweather is that it ties into a lot of different phone apps.

Weather.com is usually the most solid for me.  I usually use the Android widget (Accuweather) because I'm lazy, but it's not always as accurate as weather.com.

Right now if I look at the weather, google lists 80% chance of precipitation.  My old stalwart the weather channel lists a 0% chance of precipitation. One of the two is certainly off base and I've found that historically they contradict one another. So I ask Languish, who is your trusted weather source?*

*at the moment I have none and generally feel like:



Météomédia.  The Weather Channel.  They are usually ok for big cities, but for the countryside, there's another one people keep referring me to, but I completely forgot.  It's a retired meteorologist with his own instruments, and for the area, he has better predictions than Environment Canada, wich closed a bunch of meteo stations all over the countryside, including the one in Quebec city.
