Is there something more reliable than Weather.com?
Because it sucks.
I always, stupidly, check it before dressing in the morning. At least 50% of the time, it’s off by more than 10 degrees during the day.
Today, it said it would reach a high in SF of 73 degrees F. We’re in SOMA, a relatively warm part of the city, so I figured, if anywhere, it’ll hit 73 here. Right now, it couldn’t possibly be above 60 degrees. And the wind is somewhere between gale-force and tornado, with a temperature that suggests an origin slightly to the west of the Bering Strait.
I wore a short-sleeved shirt with an undershirt, which provides very little protection from the subarctic weather system that’s moved into the area. And since my herniated disc requires that I walk around slowly several times a day to avoid excruciating pain, I’m left choosing between staying warm & in pain, or freezing my ass off but not slipping off into pain-induced delusions.
I know this is my fault for relying on what are clearly astrologers (or maybe, if they’ve automated everything, a random-number generator) to come up with the temperature forecast. My question: is there a more reliable online weather service for the San Francisco Bay Area?

Not sure about the bay area (can anything ever predict SF weather?) but in New York, accuweather is much much better than weather.com.
Try wunderground.com also.
Thanks Jon – I’ll check out both of those sites. Modern meterological technology’s gotta get a little closer than those shots in the dark on Weather.com
Weather.com does suck, next sunday i’m going to a nascar race, my very first time going to talladega, weather.com has a 60% chance of thunderstorms, accuweather and weather.gov both have around a 30% chance, dont trust weather.com as far as you can throw a 100 pound stone.
