To understand the expected weather for the day, be it a road day or local. The main data site for me is Unisys Weather. If you do not understand what it tells you, there are parts that are more citizen oriented that you can use.
There is an app for android called "Raindar". It locks into the GPS (if you have) and give a precipitation picture all around and can be requested to show current movement. I find this to be helpful if the weather is likely to be an issue during a road day.
