They’ve been shitty since TWC bought them. Maybe a little before when they killed their old web interface which was informative and fast and replaced it with a new design that was difficult to read information, and worst of all, slow as fuck. That’s about when I stopped subscribing.

Please don’t make Weather Underground shitty. It’s the only weather website that gives accurate information around here.

Hate to tell you this, but it’s been shitty since the NEXRAD feeds broke and they never bothered to fix ‘em.

Maybe for you, but all the other weather websites I’ve tried are wrong. Even DarkSky was wrong half the time. It said sunny skies when we were in the middle of a blizzard once. I don’t know, maybe there’s something weird about where I am.

I had a similar experience with Dark Sky, but Weather Underground was always great. The weird part of it is that I’m near Chicago, where the NWS office got trashed for their awful handling of the forecast and response to the storms that led to the Plainfield F5 in 1990 - bad radar was often cited as a reason for that response, so NEXRAD especially has been key to NWS’s improvement here.
It’s www.weather.gov/lot for me now.

Oh wow, weather.gov looks really nice these days. It used to be bare bones. I may use it from now on, thanks!

If only their UI wasn’t so trash I’d only ever use weather.gov
