How do you get your forecast?

How do you get your forecast? When a chance of a big storm approaches I start by checking with a variety of sources. My first stop is Intellicast.com. First stop there is radar, current loops. This gives me a general idea of what's coming. I don’t really get too excited until the storm is 4 or 5 hundred miles away. Then I will pay attention hourly and see what develops. I watch closely the movement of the fronts. When a storm is about 200 miles away I think the predictions can be counted on. Besides intellicast I go to accuweather.com, channel 9, Mike at Black Cat, and if it’s a real big event I include NOAA too.
