Try any (or all) of these. There are links within these pages on how to read weather maps, and what the symbols mean. Some pages will give you up to 96 hour predictions. On others, you may need to make your own long term projections based on weather trends from maps they give you. Remember weather generally moves from SW to NE (or W to E) along the US Atlantic coast. Any other direction spells trouble.
Happy Predicting
