How do you get your local weather update?

I've always just been a weather.com or weather channel guy. My mom, on the other hand, whose income is based entirely on what the weather is doing, relies on weatherbug. I've never been a fan.

You?

Straight from the source. I look out the window.

That, or I check the NOAA's NWS at www.weather.gov, since I already pay for it via taxes, I may as well use it as much as I can.

You look out the window at 10 AM and you know it's going to rain at 4 in the afternoon?

Yes, I do. Weather is fairly predictable here. I don't know a single person in this country who looks up weather forecasts. It's fucking pointless.

Must be nice. When I came home 30 minutes ago, it was warm and sunny with no clouds in the sky. Right now it's raining really hard and lots of thunder/lightning. I guess that's not entirely unpredictable in and of itself, because storms pop up out of nowhere in the Midwest all the time, but it kinda sucks.

I mostly use Weather Underground. Lots of data, and, in part, because I think the name is clever.

<Inserts lame Bill Ayers/Weather Underground/Manton/Un-American joke>

MacBook and iPhone both have a weather and doplar widget. I think the source is The Weather Channel.

Yep. Hour-by-hour is awesome. That's what I look at, which doesn't really make sense since I'm inside of my school from 9 AM until 8 PM everyday.

In DC, I usually would check weather.com or checked my Yahoo Weather widget every few hours since the weather seemed to change that frequently, mostly to plan if I wanted to go out for lunch or dinner. If away from my desk, I used my phone. In the SF Bay Area or down around LA, I look out the window when I'm about to get dressed in the morning. In fact, I haven't actually checked the weather online or on TV for the past 2 months since being back in CA.

I go to accuweather.com to pull up the radar image so I can see what bright yellow and orange is coming my way. Weather.com has lead me astray (as much as a probability can lead me astray - 85% chance no rain still means 15% chance rain), so I like to stick with the radar for questions about the next couple of hours.
