Driving Weather
I'm driving to Issaquah, Washington for Thanksgiving, leaving on Tuesday. I'll be hauling some stuff in the open back of the pickup, so the weather is a big issue -- they say it rains a bit between Portland and Seattle in late November.

If I could get Weather.com to send me an update to this forecast once a day between now and my departure it would be perfect. Still, this I'm impressed -- both with the fact that the feature exists, and with how easy it is to use.
