For years I've used Intellicast as my go to site. Other than the basics it was also easy to drill down to hourly temperatures,wind speed and precipitation. They were recently replaced by Wunderground. Perhaps I'm just stupid (possible operator error with the different site format) but I'm struggling to find the detail on the new site. Have also tried a number of other sites with no real luck. I'm really wanting easy access to the hourly wind,temperatures and precipitation. Use it to make decisions on golf, skiing etc... Hate the wind in particular so I try avoid. Anyone able to recommend a replacement for the old Intellicast site? | ||

The National Weather Service does mighty fine work. You have a branch in Lost Wages, here you go: LasVegas-NationalWeatherService-Link A few more to look at: Ventusky. Enter your location or zip code SpaghettiModels No, not an adult site, a really good weather site. Look around. Enter your location or zip code. . | |||

On my iPad I use the Weatherbug app. Everything from wind speeds to "feels like" temps. On a computer I just use the NWS for a forecast. WB gives pretty accurate data for planning a day. (Tee times!) -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

I really like "Dark Sky" Plug in your city, it also accepts about 5 other cities. It gives you weather for your exact location, radar, the next 24hr forecast as well as the next 7 days. It's pretty accurate. For humor sake, and its pretty accurate as well, check out "WTForecast"... You'll laugh if you have a twisted sense of humor. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

. I like Weather Underground ~ not to be confused with the Communist Group from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor from the 1970s. What I like most about Weather Underground is they allow local residents to upload weather observations to Weather Underground. Around my home, I have neighbors that have connected their weather devices to Weather Underground's network. This lets me find specific weather near me vs. what the official City weather happens to be. Follow this link for downtown Vegas where you're from, but look for the down arrow and click on the word CHANGE to find a weather reporting station near your home: www.Wunderground.com/weather/us/nv/las-vegas In addition to current weather, they offer 5 and 10 day forecasts. | |||

I also was a BIG fan of Intellicast, using it several times a day. I had all of my devices bookmarked with the location of all of my family members. One of the major features was looking at the animated radar map. I was very unhappy when I clicked on my weather and got that weather underground message, and I started to panic. I looked around at other popular sites, but I'm just going to use WU until I find something else better myself or with the suggestions in this thread. Retired Texas Lawman | |||

I appreciate these recommendations, as Weather.com has turned into a steaming turd for me. | |||

You don't mention what platform you're using. For me: --Android 8.0: NOAA Weather Unofficial Beta v2.9.3 (hourly, radar, forecasts etc.) (NOAA data) which I supplement with a "better" animated radar app called Raindar v2.5. (Weather Underground Doppler radar data) --Win10: I use ForecastFox v4.20 plugin with Firefox/Waterfox browsers. (Accuweather data including radar, long term forecasts, etc.) --Linux Mint Mate 19.1: Weather Report v1.20.1 applet which gives details like tenths of a degree, etc. (NWS & IWIN data & forecasts) Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

Use Wunderground daily. But of late it's kind of lost its mind. I've set it up to the local weather. But now when I try to search another location it simply goes insane. Couple days ago did a search for a town in TX. Took me to the weather page for Ankhira Bangladesh. But weather.com worked fine for that. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.

AccuWeather is about the best I’ve found. 0:01 | |||

Looked at all of those listed so far. Accuweather seems to fit my needs best. Won't give the hourly more than a few days out . Is there a subscription or something that gets you the hourly more long term? Thanks to all for the suggestions. ETA See that there is a premium but it's not including a cost or if there is one. Anyone know? | |||

Another vote...I like Weather Underground and Dark Sky. I started using Weather Underground after a friend's friend informed me "that's what commercial pilots use"...any pilots out there want to chime in? | |||
