I use www.wunderground.com.  They actually have weather stations at a few points where I live.  So my temp is local.  They are pretty right on the spot.

I woke up this morning to a canceled fishing trip.  Winds were awful down in Whitefish and my buddy didn't want to drive an hour to Eureka to fish as planned.  Wunderground said it would be around 0 and the winds would be gusty but intermittent here; I trusted it and went.  Ended up bringing 10 perch and a kokanee home today.  Wunderground has proven to be quite accurate for me.
