I first check NOAA (pronounced No-Way) to see what they forecast as a upper limit for the winds. Then I check Windguru and Accuweather. I average the upper and lower wind forecast, then I take all my gear with me to be prepared for anything.
On Monday NOAA forecast the wind to be 15-20 knots and we got maybe 1 hour of riding in 10-15 knots until the wind died completely. With the screwed up weather patterns we've had, it seems that no one can get the forecast right, especially the timing of the fronts.
