Bumping this because I've seen lots of questions about the weather lately. Shout-out to Trotter for one of my new favorite sites, Spotwx.com. Between that one, Windy.com, and the NWS hourly, you should be able to answer just about any weather question.

To add to these weather sites, I also like going to Meteoblue's own website. Their forecast is included in Windy.com, but they have a cool 'multimodel' tab that lets you see the 8 different weather models predictions that they use to create their own forecast.
