I’ve been using both Weather Underground and Intellicast for 20+ years.

NBC owned Intellicast. NBC (through the Weather Channel) bought up Weather Underground.

They are just cleaning up duplication.

I’ll stick with Wunderground for now. For weather reporting, they are among the best, but, I ignore their opinion pieces.

I use My Radar app for my phone, but they are not PC based.

I use MyRadar also. They’re great...too bad they aren’t available for PCs.

I used to love weatherunderground, but they messed up their map to the point of uselessness. I get all my info from the National Weather Service twitter feed for my area.

On the link at #46, turn off the weather stations on the top tab and select radar and fronts from the sidebar.

It only took me a minute and a half to type this reply. Nine stitches in the tip of my left index finger.

https://radar.weather.gov/

Then click on your location.

I also like https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap?lat=33.56&lon=-81.71&radar=1 You can zoom right down to your street.

If you’re looking for hurricanes, etc., try https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

"I use My Radar app for my phone, but they are not PC based. "

MyRadar "is" available for Windows. The icon sits in my system tray as I type this. Works great (better than on Android).

RIP “Intellicast Radar” it was the best!

“The Weather Company” (IBM/The Weather Channel/WeatherUnderground, etc., etc.) is taking over the WX world via mergers unfortunately. I haven’t found a “as good as” replacement for “Intellicast” yet, but this “Weather Company” radar product made for a Sacramento TV station is pretty good (zoom out and pan for your area & then “Save Location”):

It was only a few years ago that all the major weather reporting agencies tried to get exclusive access to the weather data from the federal government. I believe their effort failed and the consolidation and destruction of the various players may be their end run around that setback.

The fact is that the information is freely available (after all, we paid for it) and anyone willing to put together a collection of sources can have the most up to date, accurate weather information for free.
