WEATHER WEBSITES
Before a cross-country trip I look at several websites. Then I call the FAA Flight Service Station to get a full briefing and to file my flight plan (you do file don't you?). This page has the websites I look at.
The day before the trip I look at these weather maps provided by commercial entities:
Accuweather Next Day Forecast.
Intellicast Next Day Forecast.
The Weather Channel 10-day Forecast.
Then I go to the these sites on the day of the trip:
The government's aviation site (like an FAA briefing).
Aviation 12-hour forecast map.
For over-water flights, here's a wonderful site:
U.S. Navy Meteorological and Oceanography Forecasts.
Finally, for my area of flight I look at these satellite maps (the first two can be set in motion, showing how the weather has been moving over the past few hours, thereby allowing a rough prediction on how an area will look several hours from now):
