I have a trip that departs tomorrow and returns on Sunday. I remember there used to be some nice guesses at what the weather would be for 3,4,5,6,7 days from now. But I cannot find one product. Everything stops 48 hours form now.
The temps look good and I am not expecting icing issues but I am concerned about visibility and ceilings upon my return because the only approach into my home airport is a GPS-B or a VOR-A and I need reasonable ceilings and vis (800-1000AGL and 1sm). I suppose if I had to I could get close to home and shoot an ILS into some other place, leaving the plane for a day or two. But I would prefer to have something helping me with my guesses.
I have been watching the MOS products from NOAA and they help a little. Although right now they are only forecasting to 0600Z on Saturday. My planned arrival is 1700Z on Sunday.
Anyone know of some long term forecast sources?
