This probably falls in the 'dumb question' category but I'm a newbie and can't figure out the difference between the Weather Underground Zoom Radar and the Accuweather Local Zoom Radar. They cover the same area but even when their graphics represent the same time of day they sometimes look totally different. Which one of them is correct? Could one of you "pro's" give me an answer? Thanks!

I was tempted to say Hi Honey but I will go with Hi hossierhoney. Both of those websites use the NWS radar images and pretty them up for a different look. You might as well use the NWS radar sites without all the unnecessary dressing. They have a zoom capability also if you really need such a thing. I only use the NWS radars and the South Florida Water Management site for radar viewing. I have never found the need for anything else. _________________ This post is for discussion purposes only.

Thanks for the info, Lou. I figured there was a logical explanation but just couldn't figure it out. By the way, "Hi Honey" is perfectly okay. At my age (old) there's no risk involved and it makes me feel purty!!
