Second, get a sectional chart, and MAKE SURE you download the GEO-TIFF zip file and NOT the pdf: (the US VFR Wall Planning Chart (under the planning tab) is a good base map to start with) Even if you don't use this, it's a fun little experiment either way.

I wonder if there is a link out there with a WAC charts and Google Earth, but I have not found it yet. If you find other links for Google Earth or combinations of weather/charts, please let me know. 'visible' and 'infrared' for cloud cover. Other possible methods with Aviation Charts, Radar, and Cloud CoverДЇ will also show radar images and cloud cover, but not at the same time as the sectionals. You can load multiple flightplans into Google Earth at the same time and select them on/off on the left side. Then click on the Google Earth symbol next to where it says 'Current Flightplan'. Define your route with '-' in between different airports or VORs. When you want to put some possible route paths into Google Earth, an easy way is using.

Then add the cloud cover with these links for West Cloud Satellite information for Google Earth, and Eastern Cloud Satellite information for Google Earth. Next load the Radar information with this link for NexRad Information for Google Earth. This is a great application with lots of uses. First you need to load the Google Earth application on your computer.
