Weatherspark is a really neat site that allows you to create interactive graphs of weather forecasts and long term trends. So, for instance, I can compare three different weather forecasts for my weekend. I can also go look at long-term climate changes in my region—where the mean temperature is on track to increase by more than 3 degrees F (and probably closer to 4 degrees) between 1949 and 2049.
