Batjac Posted April 16, 2024 Report Posted April 16, 2024 Hi, All. Sorry to keep making posts, but I have so many questions. I love how ForeFlight has a good weather predictor so you can get an idea of what winds will be the next day. But, unfortunately I have all Android devices, so ForeFlight is out. I am using Garmin Pilot. But it does not have that nifty weather predictor. Does anyone have a good website that gives relatively accurate wind forecasts? Thanks, Mark Quote
FlyingMonkey Posted April 16, 2024 Report Posted April 16, 2024 I use this one, you can get forecasts by airport identifier, I find them to be accurate about 90% of the time. https://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi Quote
Tom Baker Posted April 16, 2024 Report Posted April 16, 2024 I normally use this from the National Weather Service. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=38.73&lon=-88.18&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical Quote
GrassStripFlyBoy Posted April 16, 2024 Report Posted April 16, 2024 https://www.windy.com/ is my go to, can show surface or any altitude aloft. Quote
Jim Meade Posted April 18, 2024 Report Posted April 18, 2024 For surface, what Tom posted. For various altitudes up to 24 hours out https://aviationweather.gov/gfa/#winds Quote
Batjac Posted April 18, 2024 Author Report Posted April 18, 2024 Thanks, Guys. I put Windy on my computer and phone and am figuring out how to get the most out of it. Once I have that down I'll start on the other two to get them down also. Mark Quote

I see local surface winds and the automated weather including vfr/mvfr/ifr/lifr Quote
