A good weather-monitoring tool for those who don't know of it. And a storm may be coming....

I've been using Crown Weather for several years. They can be a little slow to load because of the volume of data. But it's well worth it during storm season.

I always go to the second link first, then to the third if there is something going on. It's a thorough discussion of Current Tropical Weather.

Here is the main page:

http://www.crownweather.com/

But I usually have this one saved... It's the one with all the volume:

And I like this one because the guy writes a great breakdown of all the models and forecasts. He seems very knowledgeable and insightful:

:rofl:

2. Wow that is great. Thanks for this. Bookmarking. (nt)

3. You are very welcome. I'm glued to that site at this time of year.

Things happen fast. When I checked last night, there was no real major threat out there.

Woke up today, and saw that we might get a storm.

When you live in coastal Florida, you need every heads up you can get.

4. very nifty - I would have assumed it was Canadian!

I'm not a fan of Accu-Weather on a lot of levels - mostly because its "scientists" have been helping the climate change deniers. It's embarrassing that they're associated with Penn State.

In addition, AccuWeather's site is not easy to use or navigate.

5. Heh .... it would seem, huh?

Or from someone who just had a real thing for Crown Royal. Or even a Crown Victoria.

I also like Intellicast and WeatherUnderground, NOAA, and even Weather.com.

They all seem to have their pros and cons.

That's why I use them all for different reasons.

And it is nice that Crown has so many products all on one page.

Cheers.

6. Nice, but I'll still prefer Weather Underground.

http://www.wunderground.com augmented with the National Hurricane Center, http://www.nhc.noaa.gov

7. Yes, and Crown likes them too.

They are part of that big page in the second link.

Crown uses both Wunderground and noaa and so many others.

Their bandwith use must be significant.

They put in a request for increased bandwith beginning Tuesday to keep up with the anticipated demand for the coming week.

8. They do have good tropical coverage.

Thx for the link.
