Finally, the National Weather Service produces graphs for each of its forecasts points, which go out a lot longer than 48 hrs. Here's one for my airport: http://goo.gl/gD4ZL
To get yours, go to http://www.weather.gov/ and type in either a 4-letter Airport ID, or a city, state. You'll get the NWS forecast page for that location. About 2/3 down on the right-hand column is the Hourly Weather Graph. Click it. Then adjust the date and time. It goes out at least 5 days and includes a lot more than wind.
Now, you talking Intellicast, I like their Humidicast. Where the humdity is high in the day, bad weather is likely. Where it's low, good weather is likely. So it's a great "first look" type of tool. http://www.intellicast.com/National/Humidity/HUMIDITYcast.aspx
There are SO MANY tools out there that the FAA considers supplemental weather information; it's a shame more pilots don't use them.
Sorta...right now, it's 7pm Eastern on Thursday and the farthest out Intellicast Windcast goes is 8am EST Saturday. So not exactly 24 hours.
There are better tools/models for long-term:
ADDS: http://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/winds/
GFS http://www.weather.gov/mdl/forecast/graphics/MAV/MAV.SKNT_000.html
NAM http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/forecast/graphics/MET/MET.SKNT_000.html
GFSx http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/forecast/graphics/MEX/MEX.MWSPK12_000.html
^Different models have different opinions.

Plus, there are airport forecasts (incl. ceiling, vis) which are available for a lot of airports that don't have TAFs and do go out at least 48 hours:
