I don't go kayaking or things like that. My outdoor activities include
sitting outside to read or occasional grilling. I still don't rely on
some weather radar site that isn't anywhere near me.

If you are just hanging around the house you don't need that sort of
weather information. I don't like to get caught in the rain. The radar
may not be in your neighbourhood but they are close enough to get cloud
and precipitation information. The weather radars I look at are 30
miles or more from me, but they are remarkably accurate.

The stuff I see on TV is in Savannah... I don't live in Georgia. I can
check weather radar on the computer but really, it's enough for me to
look out the window to know whether or not to fire up the grill.

Savannah is less than 50 miles from you, well within Doppler radar range.

I know where Savannah is, Dave. Doppler range be damned, the weather in
Savannah is not necessarily the same as it is here. Sure, it gives me a
general idea. Still, it might be pouring down rain there and sunny here
(or vice versa). The Weather Channel at least shows me conditions and
forcasts for Lady's Island, which is much closer to where I live.

Ah, well. Not everybody is a nerd. I forgive you for being normal.

One of my favorite weather sites just has a big graph:

<https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.2112&lon=-83.5999&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical>

The models used by the National Weather Service aren't very good at
predicting for this area, so I only use them for the next day or two.
For a longer-range forecast, I use this:

<http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Weather.aspx?location=USMI0904>

It has radar, so I can see what's coming.

Thanks, I think. Mostly I'm not desirous of getting soaked just so I
can say I cooked something on the grill. It's also been very windy.
It's really not a good idea to deal with hot coals when it's windy and
the house has wood siding. Not to mention all the "tinder" around.
Fallen pine needles and the like. I do keep the stuff blown or swept
off the driveway but I'm not tempting fate with errant sparks when it's
windy.

I get it, you're a weather nerd. Nothing wrong with that! You do a
lot more grilling that I do.

Gary once mentioned it's odd I use my grill on the driveway. I store
the Weber kettle in the garage which is right off the kitchen. I roll
it out to the driveway when I want to use it. It just makes sense to be
right near the kitchen when going in and out to check on things. I have
a patio but it's on the other side of the house. I'd be carrying food
through the living room to and from the grill. I don't see much point
in that since I eat at a table in the kitchen. Logistics.

I use NOAA on the computer, my husband uses the Weather Channel. I
find it so interesting to follow the weather. Really interesting
stuff to see what's coming, where it is going. We keep track of
family and friend's weather to see what is going on in their world.
