Look for (or listen for) mention of layers in terminal forecasts. If it's 5000 scattered and 10,000 broken all along your route, fine.

On-top tips: getting and staying on top offers advantages, especially when IFR. But watch for weather changes that will shut out a visual descent

Instead, I decided I'd be foolish not to recheck the weather, given that the new terminal forecasts were now available.

Weather and IFR delays: it's been two hours since your weather check and you still haven't taken off. How long is too long when hit a departure delay?

The area forecast discussions, or AFDs, typically have an aviation section and will often allude to the forecaster's confidence and provide insight and/or explanation behind his or her terminal forecasts. If thunderstorms are missing from the terminals because they are expected to be scattered or isolated, that's usually discussed in the AFDs.

A strategy for WX savvy: you can glance at the charts and then blindly accept Flight Service's prediction, or you can use a system to find what most pilots miss

Available from ADDS, terminal forecasts and area forecasts are the traditional products used by pilots and FSS specialists to determine the potential for thunderstorms in the future.

Pump up your web WX: we all use the internet as a key factor in our go/no-go call, but few of us truly have a clue. Here's a game plan that works
