Here are a few resources for our local weather.
-The best resource to get an overall picture of the day begins with reading the NWS discussion. This gives a good overview of the weather for the state of Utah.
-For more detailed forecasting, the locals use xcskies.com and windy.com. From collective experience, the HRRR model seems to be the most accurate forecast for wind while the NAM3 model does a good job at predicting overdevelpment. Of course, neither are always 100% accurate.
-Real Time Wind Direction and Speed can be found HERE. There are weather stations on top of Monroe and Cove launches, as well as in the LZ.
