Plan Ahead: Weather Planning Tools for Your Next Road Trip

The winter weather has caused endless delays and traffic snafus. But weather all year round can lead to traffic problems. So many of us now use handy apps like Google Maps and IPhone maps to track our travel routes and traffic patterns. Did you know there are a handful of tools that can help you find out the weather up ahead and the impact of weather on your travel plans?

If you’re driving from Long Island to Boston, wouldn’t you want to know when the snow is going to start in Massachusetts and what that might do to the roads? If you’re driving to Washington D/C. next summer, find out about thunderstorms that might snarl traffic on Route 95. Knowing about impending weather might save you significant time and travel headaches.

We published a roundup of articles about travel apps from these weather experts:

· Underground Weather (It has a wealth of information, but can be hard to use.)

· AccuWeather (It is easier to use, but does not have as much detail).

· The National Weather Service (A work in progress, but already has good weather info and traffic data)

· Inroute (Great up to the minute information once your trip is underway)

· Waze (The weakest of the bunch and not strong enough to stand on its own.)

We’ll give you details on each of these tools, what works and what doesn’t and help you determine which one might be best of you. Find out how they work and which one can make a difference for you.
