For some of the best visual forecasts, check out the National Digital Forecast Database at the lower left. As you move your mouse over the categories the map changes to reflect that part of the forecast: http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/graphical/sectors/ Also check out the Additional Forecast pages at the lower right. I especially like the hourly graphs which show what the weather has been and from which you can see your own trends: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Arlington&state=VA&site=LWX&textField1=38.8787&textField2=-77.1019&FcstType=graphical Unfortunately, they still can't do anything about the rain we're having.

The weather info they provide is everything I am interested in. And so cool that the mobile interface is friendly with my smart phone. Thanks for sharing this Wayne!

I've actually used the NOAA site on my WinMo phone for several years now and have found it to be a huge help. Living in "Tornado Alley" you often loose television/dish/cable when a big storm is rolling through. Using my phone I can keep up with what is going on outside and take precautions as needed.
