WSI, ADDS, and Fltplan.com.
From home, I usually use ADDS or Fltplan.com to check forecasts and other weather media, NOTAMs, and to file IFR flight plans. Once I get to the airport, I double check the weather on WSI and NOTAMs on Fltplan.com. The WSI radar graphic products are great.
Some people also seem to be using iPhones, as they have been deemed more reliable than conventional wx forcasting systems. :D
