Personally, I use NOAA for their weather maps, then listen to NOAA weather
radio for a closer synopsis, then check with a local forecaster who's familiar with the local variations, that none of the other sites are apt to show/mention. Problem with this is, that the local expert may not be familiar with other areas you may move into, so that you would need a list ..... good news is that you can frequently find a local expert who may cover a wide area. otn |
