Hey this is a little technical, but i use NOAA for their stuff. You can get wind forecasts for about 6 days in advance.
I have it on a button so i can check it daily. It gives hourly breakdowns of wind speed, gusts, temp, wind chill, chance of precip, just about
everything.
Here is my button link for you to check out
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Grand+Fork...
It takes a little rough navigating to get your own location set up, but it will forceast about a 4 square mile area from where you want.
Anyone interested that needs help setting it up, give me a U2U and I'll help you out

If it gives you an error when you click the link, wait a few minutes. That error shows up when the weather gurus are putting their two cents in for
the forecast
