There  is  a  voice  response  system  that  will  give   weather
information.   I  have  found it very useful because it gives the
complete report and not just what the  briefer  decides  to  tell
you.  It is slow enough so I can take notes.

It gives the weather observed at the  airports  (hourly  sequence
reports),  the  terminal  forecast,  and  winds aloft forecast at
three altitudes(plus or minus 4000 ft  from  the  requested.   It
also  gives  the  TWEB routes forecsts for which you have to know
the numbers.

To use the service call

202 347 3222

It will respond with a beep and give a voice message
asking you to enter airport identifiers.
You need a 12 push button dial.
ABE is entered as
21 22 32 ##
EWK is entered as
32 91 72 ##
The first number corresponds to the button
with the letter and the second number corresponds to
the relative postion on the button.

For winds aloft forecasts the altitude is in hundreds
of feet.  60## equals 6 thousand feet.
