I have been using the above site for years now, and not just for aviation. I
gives you the predicted weather, (including winds, cloud cover,temperature,
precipitation etc. etc.) for the next 3 days or so presented in 4 hour
increments.

What more could you ask for?

The usairnet site in question uses raw GFS MOS GRIB data.

A meteorologist will use several models in search of a consensus and
sometimes analyze each model to determine which ones are more relevant given
a particular situation. As such human derived (or at least computer
assisted, human derived) forecasts are generally more accurate. That's not
to say the usairnet forecast is worthless, you just should understand its
limitation.

Of course! They state the origin of their raw data at the bottom of the
page. I fully realize that a staff of weather experts might do a better job,
but for "quick and dirty" weather forcasts this will have to do until then.

I agree. I use the usairnet site all the time because I like the format in
which it's presented.
