Where to find a reliable weather forecast for mountain region of Nepal

Question

Where can I find a reliable weather forecast for trekking in remote mountain regions of Nepal?

I'm planning a trek to Upper Dolpo (east of Dhaulagiri range). Considering a recent fatalities associated with a serious snow storm in a month known for a good and stable weather I'd like to get as much info as possible.

Subquestions:

• Are general-use weather forecasts (such as YR.NO or weather.com) of any use in such a remote region?

• Are they any weather forecasts for local airstrips? There is an airport in Juphal at the edge of Dolpo Region.

• Do you have positive reference for specialized mountain weather services such as meteoexploration.com or mountain-forecast.com?

• Any other suggestions for reliable weather forecast?
