What weather relates sites do you use and rely on. I am trying to decide, based on wind direction, if I should hunt a particular spot I have previously posted about. I am running into one problem. All three weather sites I use are prediction different winds. I am not talking about NNE vs NE I am talking about 180 degree differences. Not one site shows the same wind direction prediction! I usually check weather.com, Accuweather, and Weather Underground. Frustrating because the stand I would like to hunt is over an hour away.

Re: Weather and Wind Information
Sounds like a last minute decision. I do know the feeling. I use weather underground an have for about five years.
I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

I like that site also. I like to look at the hourly and see if there are any trends or if any major switches are likely to occur during my time in the woods. Say if I'm hunting from 4 to 7:30 in the evening I'll start checking early that morning at work and see how consistent it stays. I'm an addict during the season on weather sites, lol

Re: Weather and Wind Information
I use NOAA the most. I compare a bunch of sites at the same time, but I usually rely on NOAA. Their hourly weather graph is great for wind direction and speed, and how it fluctuates throughout the day.

Punch in your state and hit go.
Then pick a region and punch go...
What I like about wunderground is the actual weather stations @ the bottom of the page, you can pick a local spot to your hunting location...

Re: Weather and Wind Information
NOAA, or the National Weather Service is your best bet... I tried other weather sites and apps and much of the time the info was very inaccurate.
