With hiking, biking, and boating, I've used enough weather apps/services/sources to know that nobody is ever right but all are usually close.

Take, for example, my first winter hike yesterday: using Mountain Forecast, NWS, and a few others, the ultimate result was "windy and cold as hell."

So, just choose a couple--I use Weather Underground and NWS--and take an average, being prepared for the extremes of each.

When it comes to very near future/now, however, I like the MyRadar app. It's simple and has always helped me make good decisions. In fact, I posted about getting caught in Alton Bay last year--we were heading back to Moultonborough, but MyRadar showed a fast-moving system and we were able to get back and docked in time to wait it out in the (relative comfort of the) pavilion.

Godspeed, and welcome to the forum!
