Where do you get the weather during hunting season?

I was trying to find a free download where I can get the forecast, temp and wind directions quickly and easily.

What do you use??

I use accuweather.com - just because my browser (Firefox) has a weather bar at the bottom already through Accuweather

I keep the local airport automated weather recording on my cell. You can obtain the number by calling the airport. Dial it up and listen for winds, temp, precip etc.

I use Accu Weather.com andweather channel.com. It baffles me though that for the same hour of the same day they sometimesgive two different wind directions.[&:]

As you can see this link will give you my city,state. There is a place for you to enter your city near the top of the page. There are also a whole lot of other links here that are real useful.

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=La+Plata&state=MD&si te=LWX&textField1=38.5341&textField2=-76.9705&e=0

This next link is from the bottom of the page in that first link. It is the hourly weather graph. It is extremely useful.

I downloaded a program called weatherbug. It gives good forcasts and gives current wind readings from local areas like schools along with camera views.
