Great Weather Link

[cherterr]

Ever get sick of ads, and silly stuff on the 'regular' weather pages?
I stumbled across this one while checking my state's temps a couple of years ago.
However.. I actually clicked the Homepage the other day, and it's a great resource for the entire country,, temps, precipitation, humidity, radar.. yeah..   Just wanted to share (I've been studying how/where to 'snowbird' next summer!  No, wait... I'm escaping the Texas heat.. what is THAT called??)

That is a very helpful page! One thing I want to know is what are the fronts and where are they, but I can rarely find them, this one has it right there.

The only weakness I see is no forecasts and that's something I'm looking for.

If you haven't found this, just put in your location, or zip code. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-80.13869&lat=26.07324#.VahY0_mNfIV
I like to scroll down and read the Forecast Discussion. The radar links are good also.

Thanks for another great site. There map of fronts is better because it looks out into the Pacific where our weather comes from.

I'm in Wyoming and the front that is over me is obvious, but I look east out into the Pacific to see clear skies for a long time to come. By knowing that I planned to sit here in camp for 2 days then when the front passes I'll start traveling again in the good weather.

I like this site for surface maps and you can get forecasts as well - http://www.intellicast.com/National/Surface/Current.aspx

I use national weather service(NWS) http://www.weather.gov/ . after all that's where all these other places get their info. but another cool site is this one http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime . better than tv. highdesertranger

To get to the airsports weather page (plus more maps) without the noisy home page:

http://www.usairnet.com/weather/


12 hour forecast map is the main element on main page.

I like this site to see what the wind is doing.   From it you can see where the fronts are and where the low pressure areas are.

I usually use www.wunderground.com for weather forecasts. The Spaghetti Models is for tracking hurricanes and predicting where they will come ashore and where I will NOT be.

I use both Weather.com and WeatherUnderground.  I like Weather.com's weather radar map, but their prognostications are less accurate and sometimes lie to me.  They give me storm warnings and heat advisories on my smartphone.

Lots of great links posted so far.  Really like that Spaghetti model one.
