SoaringForecast provides weather forecast information of interest to glider pilots for the New England and Mifflin areas. Turnpoints can be downloaded and used to create tasks, and a task can be overlaid on the forecast. Soundings, special use airspace, and turnpoints can also be overlaid on the forecast. Tapping on a turnpoint will display an overhead view of the turnpoint. Long press on a turnpoint, taskturnpoint or map location will provide a local forecast graph.
METARs/TAFs come from 1800wxbrief. Authorizing your 1800WxBrief account to allow SoaringForecast to request briefs, you can get a local or task briefing (based on current selected task)
