The Weather Channel website is showing today's temperature range as 68/53.

Yet, in the hourly section, it informs me that it is currently 42 and will never get above 66.

What on-line source do you use for local weather?

I use my closest news station because they are more familiar with the local weather changes from day to day.

I have also noticed some differences (a degree of two) between the hourly section and the overall hi/lo forecast on the weather channel website. Those temperature forecasts are automated from model results - likely some small procedural differences in how they generate the hi/lo vs. hourly data. For today's forecast, the low of 53 refers to the low tonight, not the low last night (about 42).

I regularly use weather channel webpage for routine forecasts.

I listen to WVLG but I wish they and others would be more specific about wind conditions. The wind makes a huge difference.

www.weather.com and the X1 Comcast APP. I also do NBC at 5-6 AM to see what they say it will be in TV.

The experts can't get the local temperatures right but they claim they have an accurate accounting of global temperatures rising

Weather peeps and economists are tbe two professions that are wrong 80 percent of the time, yet keep their jobs. This from my university economics teacher in the early '80s.
