hey there, what I like to use is the NOAA/NWS guys (national oceanic and atmospheric.....association i think?? and the national weather service), if your at lake dillon, here is a link to the graph I see. Its a 6 day forecast, shown in two day increments. The graph is split up in hours (each vertical line is one hour), and when a day begins is marked on there too (midnight each day).

The top graph shows temperature, dewpoint, and windchill
the next one is most important for kiters. It shows wind speed, and peak gusts (if they're forecasted)
Then precip below wind, and other things....

Let me know if you have questions!!

(and here is the basic forecast page, non-hourly)
