This week's link takes you to a "near-live, "overhead" view of the winds in the continental United States.  It is updated hourly from the Nation Weather Service.  You can observe wind patterns and speed in different parts of the country.  Note how the patterns are constantly changing.  Check it over a couple of different days and see what differences you observe on the map.   As the site says wind is "an invisible, ancient source of energy that surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US."
