How do you interpret weather reports when considering across-country flight?
In agreement with Paul. There are dozens of weather resources, but XC Skies seems the best.
A lot of the old school weather forecasting is boring and hard to read, with the additional benefit of being pessimistic. It seems to me that you get nowhere in a glider, whether a 1-26 or an ASH26, if you're pessimistic. Have fun, Terry! After the 50k, it just gets better.

In my opinion, nothing comes close to the ease of this Great WX tool. http://www.xcskies.com
