Woke up today and looked at my Weather Channel Iphone app. forecast for Weds. in the mtns. JEEZUS! Suddenly there's this "black-cloud-with-rain" icon for Weds. WTF did THAT come from? And suddenly its 30% chance of rain? So I downloaded the Accuweather app for a second opinion and guess what? Instead of gloom and doom for Weds., it says Partly Sunny, mild, and 17% chance of rain (mostly Weds night). I wonder how many good days I wasted because of the Weather Channel's dumbed-down one-size-fits-all STORM icon they use if theres a chance 3 drops might fall. THE SKY IS FALLING.
I think the Weather Channel folks aren't happy unless the forecast sucks, and therefore publish the worst case scenario. It will be interesting to start comparing Accuweather vs the WX Channel's accuracy.
So what do you guys use--anything else decent?
