This is one of the sites I have been using for some time. Was  REAL handy during hurricane season when working on a boat offshore.  It does have a lot of information for the Gulf of Mexico area..... but also a good bit for the rest of the nation. 
  What site do Y'all use?

Adding a weather banner to your signature line.

This is how its done, in as simple a form as I can make it.

Go to Weather Underground, put in your zipcode. On your weather page, scroll down until you see "Free Weather Stickers® for Your Homepage!" Click that link.

That will take you to the Weather Banner page. Here's an example

Pick the banner you want, and click on it to show the code which will look like this:

Code:
<a href="http://www.wunderground.com/US/OK/Oklahoma_City.html?bannertypeclick=big2">
<img src="http://weathersticker.wunderground.com/weathersticker/big2_cond/language/www/US/OK/Oklahoma_City.gif"
alt="Click for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Forecast" border="0" height="60" width="468" /></a>

We need to select the important part of that code, NOT ALL OF IT.  What we want is the URL to the weather banner graphic itself.  We want the part right after src="  and ending in .gif

In the above example, that would be this: 

Code:
http://weathersticker.wunderground.com/weathersticker/big2_cond/language/www/US/OK/Oklahoma_City.gif

Highlight that portion, from YOUR weather banner page, and copy the text.


Go to your Profile:

Profile -> Forum Profile Information

Scroll down to the Signature line.  We're going to paste that URL we copied earlier, but we have to add some IMG tags before and after it.  Image tags look like this (the beginning and end)

Code:


So we paste in our code, with IMG tags at the beginning and end.  It will look like this:

Code:


The result:
