Here is a website that gives Utah State Parks up-to-date weather conditions. Yes we all know that Utah weather prediction has its downside. But you can get the current conditions here.
Here is Willard Bay current conditions it at least lets you know the wind speed and all that.
I'm sure you'll like the website if you use it correctly. You can look up state parks!
Here is Willards current:

All you do is type in the state parks such as Lake Powell and the search will find it for you.
Hope this helps

[cool][#0000ff]That is the main source I use for checking weather on all my favorite fish ponds. I have quick links set up by name and then go to the "hour by hour" function the day before going, to see what conditions will be when I get there.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Know what? They are wrong over 75 percent of the time. In fact whenever I schedule a trip based upon the weather forecast and wind speed and directions, I can almost universally count on it being EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what the forecast is.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Typical? If I go to Lincoln Beach, I look for light south winds. North winds almost always make it tough to fish from a tube at Lincoln and they seem to shut down the bite when they come up. I have lost count of the trips I made to Lincoln Beach with a light S or SW breeze forecast, only to find 10 mph north winds blowing in.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Ditto for Willard. The forecast is NEVER right.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have come to the conclusion that it is best to form your own forecast, based upon a combination of other sources...newspaper, TV and internet. Then, if you want to go fishing...GO. The weather will be whatever it will be. (Kay Sarah Sarah...or whatever).[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I also think some lakes produce their own weather. It is like there is a big wind generating machine in the middle of the lake and wherever you go, the machine dials you in and makes the wind blow in exactly the direction you least want it to blow. Also, the wind always seems to start up just as you finally find some fish and start getting some action.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Diabolical, I tell ya.[/#0000ff]

Well up-to-date weather forecast are not to be taken literally. Its always wise to observe and note down what the mighty psychic weather forecasters say—and their mighty computer software weather prediction equipment. You know note it down— write it down on a small piece of paper. If it says windy of course note down what direction. Then visit the area, if you want. Then write them a nasty letter! Kidding.
I still look at the weather website anyways. But thanks for knowledge.
