Weather Tip: Bookmark your METAR/TAF for easy access
Here’s an easy way to bookmark your local METAR/TAF for easy access. I use this to check the weather for my commute the day before, all with one-click ease of use.
To do this, open your browser and add a bookmark. If you don’t know how to this, open your browser’s help page by pressing F1. Type in a title for your bookmark such as “KATL/KTPA METAR/TAF.” Then for the address, add this:
http://adds.aviationweather.gov/tafs/index.php?station_ids=KATL,KTPA
… now paying attention to the bolded part of the address. You can seperate the station ID’s that you want to use with a comma. Be careful not to add any spaces, and use the full ICAO airport code (ie KTPA, not TPA). If you have any trouble with this tip, leave a comment and I’ll answer your questions!
