    What do you use for a weather forcast?

    Heading into the High Country tomorrow, from Moe to Mt Buller / Craig's Hut via Erica to meet a mate from home then south to Eaglevale for the first couple of days.

    My wife uses an app Weather Willy that said Friday had a 100% chance of 50 - 100 mm of rain, that was this morning. It now says 80% chance of 5 - 10 mm.
    Knew weather was about but that is Darwin tropical, of course she was right and was wanting to change plans. Holy she can be stubborn.

    I looked at this one Australian Government BOM site, 95% chance of 10 - 30 mm in the morning.

    http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/mountbuller.shtml.

    I'm going to the original plan but curious what others use.
    Cheers
    Macca

    I use the BOM site. Their rain predictions always seem to be exaggerated though.

    What are you doing in Moe? I live in Newborough. I've got a bit on tonight otherwise I would try and catch up with ya!

    I see the official BOM app. Most other apps and sites leech data from them anyway so...
