Here’s an example for diamond peak, doing a three day loop around it for the weekend: http://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Diamond-Peak-Oregon/forecasts/2665

What’s great about this particular site is the ability to see the forecast by elevation… for instance in this case I can see the trailhead elevation (3500) where I’ll be camping (6500) and the summit elevation. Particularly cool is the freezing point line graph by elevation, great for shoulder season decisions about gear.
