Three apps worth having on your device for pre flight checks would be UAV Forcast, Windy(.com), and AirMap.

UAV Forecast will give you weather conditions for flight and has parameters that you can set such as wind speed at 200 feet.

Windy provides a flowing graphic of the wind on a map to show the direction rather than an arrow.

AirMap will show the airspace in your area with the restrictions that are in place at the time.

Most are airports but some may be NOTAMS (Notice to airman) or TFR'S (Temporary flight restrictions).

I checked your area and you have 8 advisories listed.

Do have forest fires or something that have a lot of aircraft activity?

AirMap will help you find a spot to fly between zones, but check local rules that might be in place like a park may have.

The apps are free in the app stores.
