What web site do you use for best weather and WIND forecast? :banghead
I use wunderground.com
wind finder is about as good as it gets down here, accuweather was calling for 8 to 10 today and they lied!!!
I've never found any of them that are reliable wind predictors, with any kind of consistency. However, I seem to always go back to NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration). They come about as close as our technology today allows.
I use Intellicast - Local and National Weather Forecast, Radar, Maps and Severe Report. The scroll down and click graph. It will give you the Pressure, Wind Direction and Wind Speed.
I have a lot of weather apps. WeatherUnderground is the one that I rely on most for wind forecast. I find it to be more accurate than the others. But have just purchased Wind Finder...so will see how it does. When I kayaked a lot I used Scout Look Fishing, which has drift point....just an easy way to see wind direction forecast for spots you may be fishing.

I use the NOAA tabular forecast on the hour where you can pick the weather elements you want to see like temp, wind speed, wind direction, sky cover, precipitation potential %, and rain and thunder. You can see how all the elements are forecasted to play out during the day. Like all forecast they really miss the mark some days. This is how my home lake forecast displays. Access Denied
I have all the varies lakes I fish in bookmarks so it is just a click to bring up where I want to see the forecast.
Here on the big lakes, which ever means you use just add 5-10 mph above forecast. My friends and I tend to believe weather men lie as well as politicians. :dono
Wind forecasts do me no good. Don't matter what the forecast is, when I get to a spot I want to fish, the wind will either intensify or change directions in order to blow me right on top of the spot I'm wanting to fish :Doh: And, if I move to a spot where the wind isn't blowing ... by the time I get started fishing, it will start blowing there. :banghead
When the weather forecast is for winds of X-Ymph ... I automatically assume they will be 2X-2Ymph (twice the forecast speed). :rolleyes:
And that's verifiable by my fishing buddies !!
When it comes to wind trying to mess up my fishing day, I sometimes feel like Joe Bsfspik of the Lil Abner comics :

I tend to agree with the whatever they say add 10 .......most of them I visit tell stories .....lol
I'm liking that "windfinder" site! :)
