Accuracy of various weather apps
Has anyone found one weather app to be more accurate than others? Right now I'm watching weather.com and weatherbug on my phone, and they definitely don't have the same forecasts. It's hard to say...

When the man upstairs need a belly laugh - he watches our weather forecasts.
Sometimes the weather is very easy to predict. Sometimes is it incredibly difficult to predict.
A one degree difference can be the difference between a cold rain and a major ice storm.
Weather forecasting is also less accurate the farther out the prediction goes. I'm always wanting to know what the forecast is for the next 8-12 days. I find Intellicast seems to be best, but I always cross check with NOAA and Accuweather.
I understand a forecast a week out is an educated guess in a ballpark. Weather can change.
I'm also pretty good at watching fronts, winds aloft, etc - and making my own guesses.
As we say in Texas - we have four season - Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall - sometimes in the same day.
