I noticed this change over the last several weeks and I have to say I don't like it at all. The temperature forecast, especially more than 3 days out or during a forecasted warm spell has been inaccurate . I prefer the national weather service forecast

Awful.
I now need to find a new weather site after using wunderground since it's inception.

True, but the only way to turn it off is to use the new site. The turn off feature is not available for classic wunderground.
If you're using classic, then you can remove the "classic." from the beginning of the URL, then disable BestForecast. It should take effect on the classic version too.

Yeah turning it off on the new version disables it on the classic version, thankfully. I freaked out when they first changed it over several weeks ago.
Hope they don't take away the classic version... I tried and tried to like it but it's just a total dealbreaker to require 9 clicks to read your entire zone forecast.

Haven't found a way to turn it off on the mobile version...was a quick, easy to load site with the closest PWS data, NWS zone forecast, NWS headlines and AFD's in one spot.

I would be interested to see the local WFO and the BestForecast square off in the WxChallenge.
