Newspapers - as consistent, dependable sources of the weather data your instructor would rate the Salt Lake Tribune as superb, the Provo Daily Herald as excellent, the Deseret News as good and the Daily Universe as fair.

        You can get local data from the BYU Geography Department which operates the US Weather Service's BYU weather station. They maintain some weather charts in the foyer of the SWKT and they have more detailed information available in the department office, 690E SWKT.

Web Sites - There are many sources of weather data on the internet.  Some great sites are suggested here, but there are many more.  You could spend forever exploring these links.
