Here's the Skew-T course I described:
https://pilotworkshop.com/products/mastering-the-skew-t/
It's quite good and has a lot of in-depth weather geek information. I
found I had to take a few breaks while watching it to really absorb the
material. As Arlo mentioned, though, much of this information is baked
into the easier-to-use graphical AIRMET products. I like the course
because it gives me a better understanding of the raw data.
The other two sites I mentioned for historical weather data are:
https://vortex.plymouth.edu/myo/upa/raobplt-a.html
http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/docs/nexrad_composites/
The $15 Skew-T app that Arlo mentioned (iOS-only; sorry Android users)
is here:
https://www.skewtlogpro.com/
And, finally, the accident that Arlo mentioned (AA 1420) was in the
Canadian TV show "Mayday" (aka "Air Crash Investigations"), season 1,
episode 1, September 2003, entitled "Racing The Storm." I was unable to
find a legal site to view it on line, so no link here, but the above
should be more than enough information to Google it or (possibly) find
it on-demand.
