[#800000]If I want to know the wind speed & direction, my first stop is the website 'Windfinder'. Here is a link to the SLC Airport weather station data:[/#800000] [url "http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/salt_lake_city_airport"]http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/salt_lake_city_airport[/url].
[#800000]The only drawback to this site is that it only provides data from specific weather stations - not general areas. So if I want to know what the wind forecast is for Strawberry I can look it up; not so for Starvation as there isn't a weather station close by.[/#800000]
[#800000][/#800000]
[#800000]The wind is depicted by an arrow showing the direction in which the wind is moving and below that is the projected speed at given time points during the day. And the data is more accurate than the general info provided by KSL, TWC, etc.[/#800000]

[#800000]Try it, you'll like it.[/#800000]
