This one?

Looks like it's from http://www.netweather.tv can't find it on the site, perhaps it's one of the subscription only items, but you can change the date in the URL to get the next day's forecast (only works one day ahead).

ps. I'm very impressed by http://www.metcheck.com/ eg: Newcastle (http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=bt33) it seems to be spot on anytime I use it...and it has nice wee animated pics as well ;)

pps. give us a shout if you want some company on your bivvy, wife just suggested that me and the dog should do a couple of over-nights while I'm 'off'.

There's a link at the top of all pages on NI-Wild with loads of good weather (and tide) data.

I've been keeping an eye on a few weather websites, but the most accurate I've come across is the BBC Weather page.  Ignore the little sunny/rainy symbols and just skip straight down the page to the radar type image.  Mind you, its hard to get the forecast wrong when its always bloomin' raining ;)
