isn't there something called weathereye? or something like that..it works good.

If you go the standard weather websites, they should have an app to download. Becareful though..so of those weatherbug stuff has tons of spyware crap...

I use a mac so mine already had some weather widget to use...

I use 3, though only care for two of them:

1) The Weather Network's WeatherEye (top-notch, great)

2) Yahoo's Widget's Weather one! (really slick and nice looking, great)

3) Google's Weather One (decent, Yahoo's is better)

I also have the weather on my main personalized Google startpage, I check that one prollly the most I guess.

The weather network one is the most detailed and I really on the most when I trully care about the future weather forcast!

You can get it at the weather network's homepage. CHeck it out.

The Windows Vista Sidebar is doing a pretty damn good job of this now.

Kinda funny. I just booted into Vista now from XP, and the weather gadget said it was sunny here. Uh, not really.

30 seconds later, a break in the clouds, and goddamn here comes the sun.

IT'S JUST THAT GOOD FOLKS
