Reference was made on this list by John Steele to the www.National Weather Service's forecast page (www.weather.gov). I would like to point out that the NWS site is quite an inferior source for such information.

I would recommend instead Weather Underground (www.weatherunderground.com) as by far the best resource available, better even than Accuweather. Its metric usage is perfection, having been worked on by our own USMA meteorologist, Dr. Don Hillger.

EVERYTHING is in SI units, if you set it that way under Settings (Metric instead of English units, as they are called there). Moreover, the amount of information far surpasses that of the NWS site, as thousands of local digital weather stations in backyards are included, with more data, lists, and graphs than you can imagine.
