One of the best things about the internet is being able to quickly check the forecast before heading off to work. No longer do people have to wait for their favorite news station to air the weather, instead they can go online and watch the latest report. But, with all the websites out there, which ones offer the best reports? Also which sites offer the best features and applications? The following sites are some of the best online weather services.

The Best Online Weather Services #1: Forecastfox

If you have Firefox, you may want to consider adding the Forecastfox application. With this online weather service, you will be able to customize the report that you see at the bottom of your screen. You can set it to show the conditions for today, an extended forecast, or both. You can also use this application to keep an eye on the conditions in different areas. Simply switch to another profile that has been setup for another zip code and you'll see that weather at the bottom of your screen. You also have a handy radar that you can pull up simply by hovering over it for a few seconds. When you click on the taskbar, you will be taken to the Accuweather website where you can view a 15 day forecast for your area and see a bigger more detailed radar. If you have Firefox installed, you must download this online weather service.

The Best Online Weather Services #2: Intellicast

Intellicast is a website that has a lot to offer. You can view current temperatures, various radars, a ten day forecast, current conditions, and so much more. There is a downside to this online weather service though. This online weather service doesn't work with every city. For example, I live in small town and it never has current conditions available for my area. Other than that, this is great online weather service. If you live in a bigger city, it will probably be the perfect online weather service for you.

The Best Online Weather Services #3: The Weather Channel

Forecastfox is great! I've seen some problems with weather bug and spyware...be careful.
