What's your preferred extended weather forecast website?

I have a 2 week window for an upcoming bear hunt. Since I'm flying, I want to try to pick the best 5 days to get in and out. I personally use NOAA, but there forecast only goes for 7 days.

I use the stock weather app for iPhone. Not sure what sources they use but it’s a 10 day forecast and reasonably accurate.

Wunderground

https://www.windy.com Is my preferred. In the bottom right you can change which forecast model is used. Pretty interesting website for free

pick a boulder outside your tent, sprinkle a little sand to graduated pea sized gravel on top of it. When you want to know the weather, check on the boulder. Is it wet? rain. Dry and gritty? huntin weather. Dry and slick? windy as **** but not raining. If water is flowing over the boulder, it's been raining upstream for a while and you might want to stay hunkered down. That's about as accurate as Alaska predictions get.

Any meteorologist will tell you that a forecast is only accurate up to 7 days. Anything after that is a crap shoot. I use NOAA for my weather forecasting.

Straight from the source, NOAA. Weather prediction is one of the true science success stories, but it's still not very good past a week. If you read the forecast discussion (you'll have to dig around the page to find it), the forecasters write a little description of what's going on that adds a lot to the typical forecast (e.g., models aren't in alignment, so we're not really sure what'll happen). If you want to try longer-range stuff, the Climate Prediction Center has a variety of outlooks, but these are statistical products, not a forecast the way the near-in stuff is.

I like how wunderground.com graphs out the forecast on their 10 day. Gives a ton of info at a quick glance.

 

[JD Jones]

NOAA and WINDY. Very good in my experience for both hunting and fishing

Was Dark Sky before it was aquired by Apple.

 

[FLATHEAD]

NOAA

 

[roadrunner]

NOAA, Windy, and CLIME (by NOAA)

 

[Olympics777]

I have the clime (from NOAA) app and it’s been pretty accurate.

 

[UncleBone]

Personally, I really like accuweather. Also +1 for the Indian weather rock.

 

[Fatcamp]

The Weather Channel.

I don't know where they get their info but it's been pretty solid and is easy to use.

10 days out is too far. Even 7 days the accuracy is suspect no matter who you use.

A lot depends on where you live. I live in Oregon just east of the cascade mountains and the only time the people around here can predict the weather is during the summer.

I rely on weather forecasts daily for my job and the noaa forecasts for my region is one of the worst. Over the years, even though I hate to say it, weather underground has been the most accurate.

Interesting. I'd always assumed, but didn't really know, that everyone was just scraping NOAA forecasts, or at least the underlying model runs.

NOAA has a spot forecast you can get by clicking at a spot on a map. The weather forecast for Butte is a help, but if you're hunting at 7000' in the Pintlers- that's the forecast you want

I also use Windy, as well as Meteoblue.

I really like when all three jive closely.

Weather Underground

Storm Radar app from the weather channel. It’s pretty damn good.
