Thanks to Leo for his NOAA cite. I just checked it for my local weather and
have already bookmarked it.
Best, Joyce Miller, Gresham USDA 8A.

My thermometer is computerized so it has to be accurate.

It agrees with the water in the dog's bowl.

I am generally 8 degrees F colder than the official forecast for Phoenix,
which is for
the weather station at Sky Harbor Airport, in one of the warmest parts of
our metro
area.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a weather site at
weather.gov
which allows one to input a city or postal Zip code. Once that prediction
page is up one
may click quite precisely on one's location on a map on the right side of
the page for a
more accurate prediction. All the other weather sites get their information
from the
NOAA so why not cut out the middleman?
