| The best, in my opinion, is the National Weather Service. Go to Weather.govand enter your zip code or area in the upper left hand corner for your local area. Look at their main page first. You can also go to Ventusky.comAnd also check out SpaghettiModels.com and no, this is not a girlie site, it's an amazing collection of weather sites. Best wishes to you. |

Well Considering there ain't nothing but thin wispy clouds and bright sunshine and nothing on radar for 500 miles I'd say it better start getting busy.

I'm confused... Are you saying you expect predicted future rain to show up on weather radar? |

| Rain doesn't have to move in from somewhere else where it is raining, it can also occur when a body of cold air (where it isn't raining) and a body of warmer, more humid air (where it also isn't raining) collide, or just when a body of warm, humid air cools. As the warm air cools, its capacity for water vapor decreases, some of the humidity literally falls out of the air, and it starts to rain.
If you watch weather radar time lapses over a period of days you will see areas of precipitation appear and disappear, not just move around. |

OK so maybe the tempature swing is what will bring the rains. Its going to 71 Saturday but shows all day rain. |

I've found the wind speed increase. Every weekend at least 1 day at the Market has been ruined by rain. Working out of doors we just leave the stand covered and head for McDonalds for coffee. It is a nice change from snows to be sure. We've had 1/2" of snow so far this year. Been fighting a bad cold for a week now. |

| Personally, I like the wundermap on wunderground.com. You can combine satellite and radar, local radar, personal weather stations, etc.
