which weather app/website?

So I've had BBWeatherinstalled for a few weeks, and it seems like it tends to be wrong a lot (rain when it's clearly sunny, temps off by 10+ degrees). My location is New York. It might just be due to the update cycle (very early morning and late evening).

Enough rambling: I feel like a web-based weather tool is better. Any way to get virtual 1-click access to latest xonditions and forecast? What web site (or app if you love one) is best?

Thanks...

Not sure if this will work on a BB, I use it on my Razr.(I don't own a BB yet)
Try www.my-cast.com
It is very accurate and has a real nice user interface.
Oh....and it's free!

BBWeather gets updates from Weather.Com.
If Weather.com is wrong, well, BBWeather will be wrong.

this is pretty robust; animated radar, etc.
I don't have ten posts so I cant post the link but it is mobile dot wunderground dot com


This is a favorite of ppc and treo users.

I really find that for web weather the NOAA site is accurate. Here the link for Truckee CA. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/CAZ072.php?warncounty=CAC057&city=Truckee. Change it to your local.

Geek. :wink:

In all seriousness, we know I am the bigger geek. I used my new Beiks Acronym application on my blackberry to remember what NOAA stood for-

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

God! No wonder the women don't like me

So far, I've found bbweather to be pretty acurate. I have the major cities logged in, and add cities that I'll travel to before hand. Just wish I could figure out how to get the cities I enter to be listed in alphabetical order.

Bought this on HANDANGO and really like it, info at
wxsys
you'll have to complete the web address since I was informed I can't post URL's yet.
Maybe more than some folks need though, and of course not free.

I use a local doppler map. Weather forecasts are quite useless in Houston as weather conditions can change very quickly.

along with these links for the local radar image jpg for eastern Iowa

JournalBar is available for your weather needs - http://www.blackberryforums.com/showthread.php?t=29126&highlight=journal+bar

Also, I prefer the weather settings in PocketDay Pro. Works just fine for me.

When I try and connect using BBweather I get an error stating a tunnel cannot be opened. I am on my companies BES but have Internet access via the html and wap browsers. Any help would be appreciated

Try unchecking the MDS proxy box.

I did and it still did not work. Does it only work on the 7100? I have an 8700 and the release notes state it is for the 7100.
