Believe it or not, www.weather.com (the weather channel) has an absolutely
superb section for aviation. I have found them to be MUCH more accurate than the weatherguessers at duat or duats. In preparing for the Kitty Hawk trip, I found weather.com to be the best choice, although for "legal" purposes, I logged into the duats site as well.

Jim Even better than The Weather Channel (weather.com) is AccuWeather's aviation service (http:www.pilotweather.com). I find their forecasts more accurate three days in advance than Weather Channel's service one day prior. |

I can't agree. Accuweather might be more accurate if you can spend the time
navigating a very counterintuitive system. My hit is that unless you want to spend a lot of time learning and hoping you don't forget some little detail that would make the forecast worthless, weather.com is my choice.

Bob I just went to weather.com and pilotweather.com. Having never been to either, I liked pilotweather best. I think three clicks and I was where I wanted to be. At weather.com, I never did get where I could really get a good picture of things, But they do have a good map for an overview. Another site that I used to go to in the dial-up days before I got on the internet was the University of Michigan. I don't know if they still have that system or not. Guess I will try it now.. Phil |

What about AOPA's site on Weather? Gives all of the links for Sat. Imagery,
Radar Summaries, Forecasts, Winds, Text, etc. I know it links to tied to Meteorlogix but it's a perk for membership and EASY! -- Thx, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr. take off my shoes to reply |
