Good site, I visit it nearly everyday until I found a widget from accuweather.
http://skylinkweather.com/ - has IR and visual light satellite images for front tracking as well as loads of other information

not a bad one http://www.netweather.tv/
www.metcheck.com is all I use.
In the past, I've found most US sites (weather.com and accuweather) to be pretty good at predicting what it's like now and for the rest of today, but progressively less than stellar (compared to UK sites) when it comes to accurately predicting weather beyond 24-48 hours. I haven't paid much attention in the last year or two so they may have improved.
Of the UK sites, netweather's local forecasts rely solely on automated systems and are a bit prone to silly errors and occasional wild swings in predictions (and it often predicts light/very light rain when there is none). The BBC site tends to be better but also has it's wild moments (I suspect there's an element of human error here though). Haven't tried metcheck.
Having tried several sites, I now tend to use the BBC for the 'big picture' and netweather (with a pinch or two of salt) for the fine detail.

The three we mainly use are:
BBC Weather
MetCheck
Weather.co.uk
We use them for mainly for 24hr forecasts for sprinting/racing (choosing which tyres to fit and which to bring as spares).
Usually, BBC is too optimistic, Weather.co.uk is too pessimistic and MetCheck is about right.
