Most reliable weather forecast?
Would anyone share where to find the most reliable weather forecast in the DC area? I know weather patterns shift, etc., but is there one source that seems more consistently correct (forecasting 2 days out) than others?

I like weather.com because you can get it hour-by-hour or 10 days out, etc., by zip code. Helpful for deciding what to pack when traveling.

I notice the weather reports in this area area are hardly ever accurate. Does anyone have a scientific explanation?

If you ever watch Fox5, get ready for doom and gloom, especially with Gwen Tolbert. |

I have a friend who worked for The Weather Channel. I was told by my firend that between the largest two (Accuweather and The Weather Channel ie., weather.com) that Accuweather is better.
I actually like the Capital Weather Gang at the Post. I'm not really sure if they are more accurate, but they give more details, and also tell you how confident they are in the forecast.

I think: listen to channels 4, 5, 7, 9 and The Weather Channel and then pick a happy medium.

accuweather.com Love Joe Bastardi. The man knows everything about weather. I also like their hourly forecasts.
