#2 Of the four weather websites I use (Weather Underground, Weather Channel, AccuWeather and the National Weather Service), Weather Underground is my favorite.
It's the least cluttered with advertisements and gimmicks. Their home page gives a map of the US with a variety of weather overlays, and can be static or animated. And typing in your ZIP code or city name will bring up a local weather page with all the essentials, including your local NexRad radar. Click on the NexRad image and it brings up a new page with a large, very detailed NexRad display featuring click-and-drag zoom, animation and also overlaid with graphics showing lightning strikes.
For $10 a year, you can subscribe to an enhanced version with no advertising at all, with the NexRad display animated up to 40 frames (roughly the last 3 hours, at 5-minute intervals), and the whole thing configurable out the gazzoch.
IMO, Wunderground.com is by far the best weather site on the Web.
