Aviation Weather Forcasts

About a year or so ago, some kid person on one of the forums posted a web site address to get aviation weather focasts at any airport in the country.
It was a two day forcast and was very accurate and gave good wind speed forcasts. Very usefull in planning if I was going flying the next day as the wind drastically changes speeds here in Colorado at the drop of a hat. I remember one day taking off with very calm winds and before I got half way thru the flight the wind speed was up to 25mph with no storm in sight. That's why I sold my small sail boat, got tired of uprighting it in windy conditions by myself.
I have since purchaced a new computer and have a new server, lost the address. Anyone remember it and could you post the web site address in a reply?
Appreciate it, Jerry

Hi Jerry,

There are thousands of sources for these, now. But these NOAA sites will supply plain-language access, free. If you're on the Front Range, you can try http//:www.crh.noaa.gov/den/ and you should have access to whatever aviation producst the Boulder office produces. If you're South of the Palmer Ridge in the COS area, try http://www.crh.noaa.gov/pub/ as Pueblo serves that area. Of your West of the Continental Divide, try http://www.crh.noaa.gov/gjt/ since anywhere West of the Divides is served by Grand Junction.

You can also go th the Aviation Weather Center's site for terminal area forecasts (TAFs) at http://adds.aviationweather.gov/tafs/.
