Always found AccuWeather to be both easy to use and, more importantly, accurate. There is a reason I rarely (as in, pretty much never) get caught out in the rain during rides. They are disreputatble and using freely available GFS (American) model data, which isn't turned for this side of the Atlantic. To judge "will it rain tomorrow?", it'll do ok. To judge "what time can I go out on Thursday?", it won't. At least you aren't using Exacta weather. That's pretty much all I need it to do, but I even find it accurate for longer range forecasts. It's been showing "cloudy with showers" today and tomorrow since last Friday, and it is indeed cloudy with the odd shower today.

I like the Wunderground forecaster, it seems very accurate, its been bob on today, the BBC was showing rain most off this morning up to about 1pm, got no rain just sunshine, just as predicted by WG,finally got something more reliable, thanks DaveFY7 for finding this.

Glad it's of use, Andy. Rads put me onto it a while ago. I use the radar page the most to see where the local showers are and try to get out in between them. It will be handy when in the depths of winter as cold and wet make for an uncomfortable combination if it is windy.

Yes it certainly will, that's what the BBC couldn't do, sort those local showers that catch you out half way in to a run which made me mad and soaked.
