AccuWeather
A great, easy to understand weather site. Just enter the city, state or ZIP code you're interested in. They provide hourly forcasts out to 15 days. Don't know if their crystal ball is really that clear, but it's better than nothing. This link was brought to you by Kevin Berger. Thanks Kevin!

WXPort

Sandia Lab
This link will get you current weather, not daily, not hourly, but by the MINUTE. Sandia has an on-line reporting station that should give current conditions near the So. Eubank/Tijeras Arroyo dump slope site--for those days when you want to go sloping with dead mattresses and other discards. Also provides general wind conditions good for most of southern ABQ. The site will even tell you the current solar irradiance so you can figure how much sunscreen to put on.

Dennis Renner contributed the following weather site links..... fortunately, one is an explanation on how to interpret the information that the other site provides!

Thanks to Dan Tandberg for finding these weather links:

The Albuquerque Aerostat Association (otherwise known as the Hot Air Balloon Club...) has a phone number that you can call for wind forecasts in the Rio Rancho area...891-1733 Rich Shagam says that the temperature, windspeed, and direction info that they give out pretty well corelates to the conditions as Jemez Dam.
