www.intellicast.com
www.weather.gov NOAA's site
www.accuweather.com
Plus the weather channel app on my Blackberrydieselbear Thanks this. -
can check out the highway cams as well to give you an idea of the road conditions
-
Nation Wide Road Condition Report
cams, advisories, construction, closers, etc. -
I use http://weather.com or http://aviationweather.gov/adds/radar
I also use the prog charts and TAFs as well there... -
+1 for wunderground.com I've used that site for years, for aviation mostly, until now.
Also lean heavily on NOAA's sites. I tend to ignore forecasts from news/radio, and go straight for the raw data and draw up my own conclusions. -
and that's even IF IT IS still 20 million........
someday when i get rich, i might buy one, but not now. well since they been around, i ain't had one. goes to show you since i'm poor i got lesser things to pay for like food, gas, mortgage, house insurance, heat, water, sewage, taxes, car payments, car insurance, meds, etc,etc. and the occasional haircut for my balding head.
a satellite radio is a "luxury item"....NOT a necessity...... -
Intellecast is my choice for internet planning, plus satellite radio and NOAA weather radio for enroute updating.
This link takes you straight to the current surface analysis...

That can be focused onto regional maps as well. The various radar summaries are killer too...

The times on the maps are GMT or Greenwich Mean Time - which doesn't change for daylight savings. To convert to say Central Standard it's GMT - 6 hours. -
Thank you very much for all the advice. I do have a weather channel app on my phone, but I just didn't feel that it was good enough. Be safe.
