I got a link to the Forecast Advisor from the Freakonomics blog.  Wow!  You have the forecast for today and the next few, but much more data as well.  Clicking on a day allows you to see previous days' forecasts for that day (indicating stability of forecast).  It also lets you know how accurate various sites have been for the last month and year.  And that's not all. There's all kinds of cool discussion on their FAQ. 

Data!  Geekery!  Wow!

yeah, I freaking love that site. It confirms what I've thought for a while: today's weather bears as much relation to the forecast for today from five days ago as the weather today bears to the weather five days ago.

I'd be curious as to how often the forecast is correct, but time shifted; I think that would show up as a straight "were you right about today five days ago" as chance, but still contain useful information.

Cool! I can't find their "skill" indicators, except in the FAW, but I like the stability thing.
