Weather Forecasting Resources

This list of sites was compiled by students and faculty in the Texas A&M Practical Weather Forecasting class.

Point Forecasts

• National Weather Service
  • By far the easiest site to use to get point forecast data, and it is also easy to find all of the verification data from previous days.
• The Weather Channel
  • For quick reference, this was probably the fastest of the non-NWS sites.
• Intellicast
  • This website is the best one that I have found for the international point forecasts, providing a 10 day forecast for most major cities and many smaller ones around the world.
• MSN
  • This site contains a few ads, but doesn't take long to load. It also includes a monthly climatology of the region and a detailed ten day forecast.
• Accuweather
  • This site by far had the most information when compared to the other non-NWS sites, but it was also the most difficult to use.
• Weather Underground
  • This site has decent maps, along with detailed forecast discussions. However, the information is not organized in a user-friendly manner.
