5. Pressure system and precipitation forecast:
National center for environmental prediction
Check the forecast pressure systems and areas of precipitation at the forecast hour. Relate satellite and radar maps to the current pressure analysis, and the forecast precipitation to the forecast charts, to get a pretty good idea of areas where VFR might be a problem and whether it is going to be "getting worse" or getting better at time of interest. Select the current ("zero-hour") analysis, plus required forecast-hour chart. Lower left panel gives precip.
