Weather tool for 48hrs ahead ????

[DrBill]

What weather tool do you use  for 48 hrs ahead ?  TAFs are good for 24hrs.

I'm using weather.com and yahoo weather but not ideal.

I use " storm" an iphone app, similar to weather.com

I've been using the National Weather Service (http://www.weather.gov/).  Found them to be a little more accurate than both weather.com and most of the other "commercial" sites. 

Cheers,

Depending on what you are looking for NOAA's site has a variety of multi-day forecasts.

+1 on aviationweather.gov.  Go to Forecasts>Prog Charts>Surface and then up at the top there is a button that let's you progress through time.  Watch the valid time though.  The chart might say 48 hours, but it might be several hours old.  The valid time is when the forecast is good for.

These charts and the Qty. Precip charts are all collected in one place in Foreflight.

Weather 48 hours out is not all that accurate though, regardless of what source you use.

I like USAirnet, it goes out 3 days and all the parameters are graphical so it only takes a quick look.  Also the new MOS reports Foreflight added to the weather tab goes out 48 hrs.

Thanks to all for the replies.   Usairnet.com is nice even gives cloud bases.

I've recently found a new one I like.

Scroll down to the "Meteogram - 5 Days".

USAirnet is really good and a quick way to get the most important stats. I also use the MAV/MOS charts which you can find here:

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/forecast/graphics/MAV/

They are good graphical presentation of lots of different data that matter. Interestingly, these are the same charts that ForeFlight incorporated into their advanced weather briefing tools last  year.

The weather channel weekly planner is pretty handy too
