Looking for a forecast? These are some great websites that I would highly recommend! All of these websites I used throughout my blog, each has its own individual disadvantages and perks, but they are all reliable and work well!
Temperature: www.accuweather.com
Wind Direction and Speed: http://hint.fm/wind/index/html
Weather Station Data: http://www.wunderground.com
Weather Alerts: http://www.weather.gov/ Valuable Maps:  |
This map is from weather.gov and is the typical map that you would see in your Sunday paper. I like it because it gives a quick overlay of what the temperature looks like throughout the entire United States. If you know the typical patterns of air masses, you can not only look at the current temperature of your region, but you can look at temperatures that could be expected.

This map is a satellite image of the United States from Accuweather. I like this map a lot because it is easy to tell where the fronts are concentrated on the map by the clouds in each area. I also like this view because it can show a pattern in the weather and therefore can be used to do a quick forecast for a few days

This map is also from Unisys, although this map shows much greater detail because it is a surface map. Of all the maps I think this one is my favorite if I want to have the most descriptive map. At times it can get confusing to read, but if you take it section by section, interpreting the data is not as overwhelming. On this map you can see the high and low pressure systems as well as temperature, barometric pressure readings, wind movement, cloud coverage, and precipitation
