Most ATIS and AWOS stations have phone numbers you can call to hear the reports - I find them at https://www.airnav.com/ in the Airport Communications section like this: CTAF/UNICOM: 122.8 WX ASOS: 133.975 (405-282-0478)It can be tricky to find the airport name nearest you without a chart though if you don't already know.
