I am looking for websites that show weather maps with isobars on them.... lots of lines that follows barometric pressure gradients.. the closer the bars are the more wind you will get.

The local weathermen here are bottom of the barrel as far as forcasting goes to put it nicely.

I want to do my own wind forcasting. You would think that this being the rice belt that they would a full on agricultural forcast but they are fully inept and incapable of delivering 21st century weather technology to this heavy farming community.

Thanks, Robert

These plots are from the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center, which is where 90% of the services get their data.
The products for North America as well as the Western Central should provide the graphics your looking for.
