Where do you go for online weather reports?

[cynatnite]

I've been going to www.weather.com and the radar images are sometimes at least an hour old. Is there anything better?

1. I prefer the NHC:

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml?


The main features are the 5 day track, and the wind intensity forecast graph.

2. I like this site

http://skeetobiteweather.com/index.asp

And the National Hurricane Center

And Dr. Jeff Master's blog in particular.

5. flhurricane.com has great discussion forums.

Lots of knowledgeable people there discussing things as they happen.

17. They'd be OK if they had a few more ads and pop-ups. And I really

like the confusing menus and difficult navigation. And if they could just put more than the 10 cookies on that they do. I really love the spyware, but I'd like more.

18. None of that happened to me.

Of course, I use my pop-up blockers and spyware blockers on all the sites I visit so that's not an issue.

8. Yahoo! Weather

13. Storm2k.org has an excellent tropics forum

But you want maps. Ok, here's some from my bookmarks.

Excellent for overall views of the Eastern atlantic.

This is the Floater 1 sat, currently focused on Rita.

http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/float2-ir4-loop.html
Floater 2. Not sure what it's centered on now, maybe Philipe.

NWS radars. This one is Miami, but you can get to any locality from here.

http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/goeseastconusir.html
I love this one. Select the animation checkbox, then click anywhere on the map and it zooms in and runs an animated loop.

http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/
Good starting point for tropical storm information. Anything active will be listed with a series of links for radar views, models, tracking maps, whatever.

I have tons more. Literally. Most are specialized in some way though, showing things like wind shear or water temperatures, that sort of thing. If there's anything specific you are looking for just holler.
