Sick of weather channel's ads and taking forever to load.  Especially real time radar.

What is a better quick weather website?
I like:
Current weather
3-5 day outlook
radar
all on the same page but will take a click or two.

Weatherunderground is great.
They also have a great app called Storm which is a great mobile app.

True. Most of the other sites and apps pull their data from the NWS site anyway. No ads or pop-ups to deal with either.

I have a weather station in my back yard that automatically uploads to Weather Underground.  I can see the conditions at my house 24/7 on my phone or computer.

The program that came with the station also saves all the data to a file on my PC for historical data, I'm kind of a weather nerd

IIRC, it's actually owned by IBM now.

IBM owns The Weather Company which in turn owns weather.com and the wunderground, whereas The Weather Channel is owned by NBC.

That's one of the neat features I like about Weather Underground.
The ability to view all of the local area uploaded PWS.
I also like being able to pull up the historical data.
I keep thinking about buying a wireless PWS but there is one online about a block from my house....

weather underground sucks balls out here in the rurals. I use Intellicast or weather.gov

Bonus: Here is a full screen high res weather radar loop of the entire country

If it rains, they're both correct.

If it doesn't rain, they're both correct.
