Weather Forecasts

Wondering what guys are using for forecasts. I have stuck with Environment Canada for 4 to 5 day forecasts. Have used Accu weather for 6 to 10 but find they tend to be extreme. Like Josh Klassen on CTV in evening and watch Global in the morning. Seems this fall forecasts are changing ever few hours. Any one figured how we can push the jet stream up into the NWT.

Dear Craig,
hey
I really like FarmZone. They have been more accurate than E-Canada in my experience!

Hardly a forecast when they say 60 or 40 percent chance of rain. A coin will do that for ya too.

Anyone notice that Farmzone is The Weather Network?

I flip back and forth to Farm zone and E Canada, at least FZ shows more local forcasts rather than Calgary or Red Deer. Seems they can't get it right anyway, suppose to snow tomorrow and rain, now clear sunny and high of 3 !!
Hate to ask but is JRI/CWB weather system up?? have toured the CWB and know they have a weather monitoring team there. Yet funny they can't or couldn't see the drought in Australia!
October harvest here we come!!

I use the Weather Networks forcast which has a forcast for my local community as # 1.

DTN's ND forcast and radar(dopler radar)it's much more accurate than environment Canada. This works for me as I live 20 miles from the ND-MB boarder. #2

Environment Canada #3

When all three say the same thing, the liklyhood of the forcast being correct is highest.

WD9,

E-Canada supplies the internet DTN radar I was using, guess the format is better... but all the same base info.
