***This page is intended as a tool to help pilots better visualize weather and weather-related hazards. It is not intended as a substitute for a weather briefing obtained from a Flight Service Station (1-800-WXBRIEF). Currently, the information contained here does not meet the FAA requirements for a pre-flight weather brief. Therefore, it's important that pilots still call and obtain a briefing from an FAA Flight Service Specialist. You may also visit the Aviation Weather Center or the Minneapolis CWSU.

An overview of the services provided by the National Weather Service is available here: A Pilot’s Guide to Aviation Weather Services
