Skydivers comparing weather at U.S. dropzones
Worth noticing
The stated wind estimate draws on 82 GFS and ECMWF ensemble runs; the site says its overall estimate is not calibrated.

Field notes

The site distinguishes observations—such as METARs, radar, and balloon soundings—from model output on its forecast timeline. It identifies NOAA NBM for surface conditions, HRRR for roughly the first 48 hours of winds aloft before GFS, and NAM and ECMWF as second opinions. The page also says cloud layers are rough estimates and that weather alone cannot account for aircraft, staff, or dropzone schedules.
