Jeppesen as part of my flitestar package! very cool info and very accurate. it gives icing forcecasts for flight levels, puts TAF & METAR in as a hover button over the airfield.

IO540 have you seen the latets incarnation of weather for Jepp?

No, not yet. I did very recently see their latest online version of Flitestar (JIFP) but it didn't have weather on it. I gather it is the standard stuff, which one can already get from a multitude of websites.

What is really needed, IMHO, for both VFR and IFR, is an integrated briefing along the route.

For VFR, one can do it adequately by getting the TAFs and METARs, and (for further ahead) by looking at GFS together with the MSLP charts.

For IFR, one needs the above, plus one needs to get a grip on cloud tops and I don't think Jepp provide this yet, for Europe. The usual place to get this is Unibas

I gather that NOAA

should have it too but all I can now find on there is actual ascents for the US mainland.
