What site do ya'll trust for weather?

I’m planning on heading out tomorrow for a bit with some friends, but can’t figure out for the life of me what the weather will be like. I’ve got the Sea Tow app, Wunderground app and check weather.com

All three tell me completely different forecasts. It’s either going to rain in the morning and then clear up, or be clear in the am and rain in the pm… Or maybe just rain and/or sunny all day.

I know weather forecasting isn’t an exact science, but still - it’s kind of frustrating. Last Saturday they were calling for 70% chance of rain until Friday afternoon, when it dropped to 10% chance…

So - is there a site you guys trust more than others?

btw - ya’lls paddleboarders/yak thread is going to cause me a heart attack. If there’s a road rage incident on Shem Creek involving a paddleboarder, it’s probably me, guys. I’ve told the gf, from now on when I see a paddle boarder, I just assume they have some sort of mental condition.

1Weather. Free and it has been very accurate.

I added Fishweather to my “list” of other weather apps. Its one a lot of Gulf Coast guys use (suggested by my son that goes offshore on OSV’s and works on Survey Ships). From what I have seen over the last couple of months is that data is pretty accurate to forecast but I’m not sure about wave height and period though. Wind, direction, gust, temp and sky seems more accurate than other sources. Like most forecasting, the closer to to your target time and date the more accurate it gets.

They also have a great smartphone/iphone app

I don’t trust any of them further out than 6 hours. They get lucky sometimes.
