Do you live in an area of the country that has a lot of wicked weather? Up in north Texas, we see a lot of thunderstorms, hail, rain and even the occasional tornado or two.

One of the reasons I started using the ForecastFox extension inside of Firefox was because of the alert feature. Now I get a pop up when my county has been put in a watch or warning.

hat is not the only great feature within ForecastFox. I am also a big fan of the mini radar picture I can access from my status bar as well. This way I can at least tell some big blob of blue and green is coming my way. Being linked in with AccuWeather.com is another nice feature as well. Out of all the weather Web sites out there today, AccuWeather.com is still one of my all time favorites.

Did I mention that it will give you a weather forecast as well? To those folks who say, “Hey, I can look outside for my weather reports” all I ask is to try ForecastFox once. I can almost promise you that once you do, you will never turn around to look out that window ever again.
