Can't turn off accuweather.com notifications

I'm suddenly getting a ton of annoying banner notifications from Accuweather.com on my MacBook Air using MacOS 10.15.4 (notifications once an hour, on average). When I go to the Notifications list in System Preferences, Accuweather isn't listed at all, so I have no idea how to turn these off. (The notifications appear in the same place as notifications from apps in the list that I've allowed notifications from.) There's no Accuweather app on my computer & I have no idea where the notifications are coming from. Anyone else getting these &/or know how to turn them off?

Actually not an extension, but problem solved, was a Safari issue - I don't recall doing it, but must have accepted notifications on the website because it was listed in Safari Preferences--Websites--Notifications. (I didn't realize those existed!) Thanks for the help & prompt to look at Safari.

It sounds like a maybe an extension could be installed in your Safari browser. Open Safari, go into Preferences > Extensions, the window pane on the left would show if there's an Accuweather extension. If so, you can click on it and to the right there will be an Uninstall button.

If there is no extension present, it could be a malicious software problem on your computer.
