Which ones are great and easy to use without alot of prior knowledge? Skysight? The best is FCST24, especially for mountains and wave flying. Second SkySight if you don't have FCST24 or Top Meteo if you have it. it's good to use 2 different models sources to compare certainty of the forecast. SkySight and FCST24 I think they have the same weather data source.. So gave FCST24 a try, paid for a month. Unless I'm doing something wrong, the forecast is very poor, at least for my area. Thermal height is way off, by 4,000 feet. I'm willing block adjust based on history as I get used to the service to an extent, but 4k is a deal breaker for me. Anyone else have any history using this in the western US? |
