Decent Weather Application?

I'm looking to find a weather application for my PC and laptop. I'd like to be able to track several locations at once and also find out sunrise, sundown, dewpoint, highs & lows, and a weekly/montly forecast overview and any other goodies that I might be missing from my list.

May I suggest just checking a weather based website rather than installing software? Even reputable companies can have bugs and spyware in their 'free downloads' to say nothing of wasted possessor power.

National and Local Weather Forecast, Hurricane, Radar and Report

FYI Weatherbug is in cahoots with the DHS.

I like Forecast Fox extension to firefox. It displays Accuweather.

I have never tried to use multiple locations, however. It looks like it has support for multiple profiles, that can be configured to rotate x number of minutes. You might want to look into that.

If you pony up $20 or so for a "Gold" subscription at weather.com, you can do a lot of customization of "your" page, including selecting multiple locations to track simultaneously.

(And, yes, I have a Gold subscription, because I'm a major league weather geek.)

I also recommend the National Weather Service site, though it's not nearly as user-friendly:

NOAA's National Weather Service
