Default DUATs any use for Soaring? [USA]

I Agree.

After checking Dr. Jack's, Unisys, and looking at the Skew't I may
think that it will be a beautiful day, but then after checking DUAT I
realise that it wouldn't be safe - due to forecast surface winds or
thunderstorms or whatever. I consider the DUAT forecast to be my
safety check: "Is it safe to fly today?!"
