By "good job", I guess I meant "the only source of weather I ever consult", and I use it multiple times each day.

Saying "a 30% chance of rain on X-day" is woefully lacking compared to the hourly breakdown that wunderground provides. They do great with large-scale weather systems, but when a stationary front is overhead, I like to test my own guesses against their models. Under some conditions, I can really clean up.

tl;dr - yes, fuck accuweather and weather.com

The guys from Accuweather straight up told Nate Silver that if it's a 60% chance of rain they'll say 75% because people are less likely to be mad at them if it doesn't rain and they were expecting it than if it does and they weren't.

Choads.
