« on: January 11, 2010, 10:27:29 PM »
I found this one day when I got the random idea of weather map generators. Pretty interesting.

I have had that one bookmarked for a while. That's a great site.

I just use Wundrground for all my onsite maps.  They are fast loading and NEXTRAD is a really good and reliable radar source.  No need to overcomplicate things.  ;)

How do you figure?  :-P You mean the fact that you can generate your own weather maps for personal use?

True. But I'm a nerdy weather nerd, not just a weather nerd. LOL  ;)

The NEXRAD on this site isn't up to par though. It doesn't even load.

Show me an map for Alaska or Hawiia..... They like so many  are still lower 48 only and the 2 states I mention are lefted out. Maybe they think no one can figure out how to use there maps except those in continetal US.  Remember your school maps showed Alaska off lower California

Alaska and Hawaii are in the Contoured and Plotted Maps listings, and you can type in your station ID.
