Okay, Folks, here's the situation: In light of the developing weather situation this hurricane season, I need some expertise I can only find here.
Since I deployed to Iraq in 2005, I have been using WeatherUndergound.com for updated weather reports, radar shots, and alerts. They were VERY faithful in the past, and the technical data available on the site was easily translated into what I needed and when.
But this year, it's getting ridiculous. Wundergound is now spamming every screen with Obama's face and money-begging, and Shelly-O's mug is getting hideous exposure on every page.
So, let me ask the general populace: what sites do you use for meteorological data? Specifically, I'm looking for radar rollups, alerts/updates, and raw data and reports when available. And I'm tired of having to scroll through Leftist spam to get it.
Doesn’t anyone remember what the Bill Ayers group called themselves at Michigan in the 60’s? They called themselves “Weather Underground”. That’s why I steer clear of them. I don’t trust them.
One of my favorites....
REAL TIME IMAGERY AND DATA http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/
Has links to just about everything you want to know, and more.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Obama ad on Wunderground.I use it every day for my local and regional radar. I also use the hourly forecasts. I use the free version.
I have become immune to ads over the years. I don’t even see them.
Wonderground is great. I hope you don’t abandom them over this. It’s how they pay the bills.

YUP!
Weatherunderground is no longer underground. The Weather Channel bought them out.
Try accuweather.com or NOAA which has the national weother service in it. I also did not like O’s mug.
Ahh yes.
I use WU all the time and was wondering what the OP was talking about since I’ve never seen any ads.
I’ve run Firefox with ABP and Flashblock for so long now that I tend to forget all the garbage they keep me from seeing.
:-)
I still like Weather Underground. They cover all of the Tropical Cyclone basins and give a map of all storms not just the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins.
