Weather sites

I seem to have lost my favorite aviation weater site. The one I liked did not wory about anything higher than 12,000 ft. It was more set up for hang glyders, baloonists, sky diving etc.

You would pick the state and then one of the major states and it gave a 3 or for day outlook. It was usually pretty good.

Anybody use this one? what is the link?

Weather Web Site

I use that site also. It does appear from my usage a good indicator of the weather/winds. I use it nearly every time I fly.

Thanks guys. Desert Flyer, I have never tried that one, I will give it a look.

Patrole Guy, that is the one I was looking for. When I plan a cross country I just pick a few airports along the route and check the forcast. Who needs info above 12,000 ft when you are carburated and VFR

Could not find it in Google. BBP guys are great. Thanks Zane.
