I typically look at "weather.com" when I am in a hurry. When I have time there are other sources of raw data that only a meteorologist would find interesting.
The hourly forecasts on weather.com are worth looking at in the very short term - a few hours before you are going outside. Also, I tend to look at the weather radar in Jacksonville to see how precipitation areas are moving.
In the warm season there is significant variability with precipitation. With a morning forecast of 50% showers and thunderstorms for The Villages, it can be raining in Sumter Landing but not raining in Brownwood. You can consider that a "correct forecast". There are limits to what the science can do. There is less variability in precipitation during the cold season so the forecasts are more spatially precise further out in time.
