Batjac Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Meade Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 For surface, what Tom posted. For various altitudes up to 24 hours out https://aviationweather.gov/gfa/#winds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batjac Posted April 18 Author Report Share Posted April 18 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see local surface winds and the automated weather including vfr/mvfr/ifr/lifr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
