Default DUATs any use for Soaring? [USA]

Soaring Forecast? as far as finding out the Thermal Index.. not really
Getting general TAF and Winds Aloft and the all important NOTAMS (GPS
Jamming, TFRs, Airports Closed, Temporary Towers for airshows)
Priceless..

Is the DUAT aviation weather resource of any use for a glider pilot to
get weather information useful to a soaring forecast? Is it worth the
trouble - is there anything there that cannot be found elsewhere on
the net?
Can you easily get current doppler/weather radar images & satellite
images with cell phone web access?
