Default Winds Aloft Modeling Tool

Doug,

You may want to add this to your WX page. It's similar to the VAF World Wind Map that's there currently, except this allows you to model for altitude, day, winds, cloud cover, humidity, etc. Not sure how they acquire the source data but it does seem pretty accurate. Right click on the map to get detailed point forecast and local web cams... YMMV...

Play with it here:

Oh, and credit goes to Rob 'Rotor' Chambers for the find... ;-)

Enjoy!

Different times throughout the day... So you can look at future forecasts.
