This link is probably worth adding to your bookmarks: http://www.rvproject.com/wx/
It's a privately operated site with a really nice text weather page for airports. Go to the bottom where it lets you Customize Location, and put in your airport with a 50 mile radius. Nice little tool when your trying to quickly assess your chances for flying.
And of course, you already know about www.flightcentral.net/superwx

There is a rumor that Scott Crossfield may have crashed near Atlanta on Wednesday. CNN web report.

One follow up for all you true geeks - It is worth mentioning that this site (by Dan Checkoway) is also mobile enabled. You can get METARs and TAFs from your phone browser, and there is also a text message feature...send a text message to METAR(at)rvroject.com with the airport identifier in the subject, and you get a reply with the weather info.

I've been using the RVPROJECT weather site for over a year and a half and had no idea it was mobile enabled. WOW! I'm going to immediately give that a try. Thanks Dave.

I use a few of the following. Since I am not a big fan of flying the -50 cross country, I use it more for local weather. When I fly for money (my real job) they give us all the weather and NOTAMS any one man can hope for.
www.wunderground.com
For some serious geeking out:
http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
Then use this plug in for some great WX overlays and other handy aviation features. You will have to go another site but I know this guy personally and he is a solid dude. You will not be directed to some porn site. It will down load a Google Earth Specific file. It is really cool and Yariv put some work into this. Trust me, it will not infect your computer.

I am re-posting as the link was mis-spelled. The correct link is
METAR(at)rvproject.com and has been corrected in the body of text as well.
