Navigating New Look of Aviation Weather Center

[kontiki]

Rusty pilot working on getting proficent again. Used to be all I had to do was find the AWC Standard Weather Briefing page to just see it all. Everything has a new interface. Anybody have tips or a guide for a fast overview of VFR WXR without logging in or using 3rd party tools. I was really comfortable with the old tools. I open the AWC now and am overwhelmed.

Hi kontiki,

I am studying weather myself and recently watched this broadcast from AWC (46 min). There are a few minor website changes since this was from when the website was still in beta / testing, but still very informative.

Here's a couple more I haven't watched yet but plan to soon:

1. AWC Updated Website Tour - Aviation 101 with Laura (20 min)
2. AWC Walkthrough - Pilot Institute (25 min)

If you find anymore resources please post as I'm also trying to get familiar!

YMMV, but I find Windy.com a more enjoyable (for certain) and likely a more productive experience.
And then for a formal briefing, make a "Flight" in ForeFlight and click Briefing.

What was your process like checking the weather on the old website?

Below is the old one. I still use it for longer range winds aloft forecast. Everything I have checked on it still works and is up to date. Hope it keeps working.
