The Weather Underground Wundermap summarizes a pretty chunk of available data and can telescope down to small areas. It also includes the data from PWSs (Personal Weather Stations). There is pretty good PWS coverage in The Villages.

WunderMap(R) | Interactive Weather Map and Radar | Weather Underground

While there could be installation and maintenance issues with the PWSs, my experience suggests they are generally pretty good. If you want to know what is going on in The Villages, the PWSs are a good place to look.

The Wundermap also includes a simple access to some of the results from the ECMWF and NWS global spectral transform codes. More detailed results, and from other codes, are available elsewhere but explaining the results can become involved. If anyone is interested let me know and I will post some other links.
