We have a pretty good pilots' association here in the Glens Falls, NY area and WeatherSpork is becoming popular as some of us become familiar with it. I also recently attended an FAA sponsored seminar in Albany on the latest weather forcasting tools and WeatherSpork was the instructor's favorite. It's both accessible via a downloadable app or via a website if you don't have or can't use the app. Unfortunately it subscription-based ($79/yr), like Foreflight. But it's really powerful and has innovative graphical information not found on other sites. The subscription also includes access to loads of weather tutorials. Here are links to their site and a video explaining some of it's features. It has way too many features for me to explain them, so I'll just refer you to the video. Some of the features that I really like (such as the route profile) begin at about 10 min into the video. I have not come anyway near to understanding all of it's features.

windy.com is a good (free) long-range forecast display tool, but the user interface is a bit tedious until you figure it out.
