There's the weather you hear on the Radio or see on Tv or look at online, fairly general and sort of non specific. Then there's Aviation Weather. Very specific and very detailed.
It's a beautiful day and I'm going flying with my neighbour, a retired Air Canada Captain with over 30 thousand hours, so like every pilot I check the weather.
Your Weather.....

If you care, Nav Canada has a great site with lots of charts and very detailed forecasts. It'll give you some idea where the TV weather dudes get some of thier info.

Just really means, in the Pearson area a little gusty wind but a pretty nice day.
If you look up around 12:30 over downtown you might see me.
