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...

unless one app says it's gonna be clear while the other claims it's gonna rain I don't see where it makes a great deal of difference. I personally can't tell the difference between 55-deg f and 58-deg f. all I need is a general idea of what's gonna happen. if I need a detailed forecast before flying then i'll get a specific aviation forecast but otherwise the weather channel app is as good as any.
You can not tell the diff between 55 and 58 (3 degrees)
But how about the tires on your car if it's raining, can they tell the difference, in the rain, between a road surface temp of 33 and 30?
you bet, at 33 you have traction, at 30 you get panavision.
if I'm driving at temps close to freezing I drive the same way regardless if the temps are 33, 30, 35, etc. in any case the temps you'll get from ANY source are for a single location...usually an airport. and as George Carlin once observed...nobody lives at the airport. I think we're all making way too much out of a few degrees one way of the other.
