If we scroll down this page a little further, we get to the extended forecast this is great reading if you are planning a couple of days out. The remaining sections depict rain (QPF) and snow totals for the period, as well as the likelihood for thunder, freezing rain, and sleet. In this example the wind is blowing out of the southwest at 17 miles per hour (MPH) to start and by the end of the chart, it’s blowing from the west, at 7 MPH. The next section depicts wind (surface and gusts) by showing a speed in numerical value as well as direction the little arrows/hash marks point towards the direction the wind is coming from. The first section gives you wind chill (blue line), dewpoint (green line), and temperature (red line). When you click on the link you’ll get the below chart. The next link worth checking out is the “Hourly Weather Forecast.” Thinking about when it’s best to take your lunch and hit the hill or trail?

This is a great spot to find more detailed information on storms and their timing, as well as impacts to roads and aviation. The first is the “Hazardous Weather Outlook,” which is a discussion of any inclement weather headed your way.

We’re going to focus on the “plan appropriately.” We’ve all used our local TV or radio station for our weather forecast and they work great for the big picture.
