Finally a good storm tracking map.

Yes I have been looking for a good storm tracking map for quite some time. Finally I have found one.

Check it out and tell me what you think.

I've been using: http://www.spaghettimodels.com which compiles a lot of the results from various agencies. But I haven't seen anything like the one you posted. It has a lot more information on any given storm, although it's a bit flaky to use.

Great find, Cat. Love maps & weather... could play with that one all day!

 

[DesertPirate]

Nice one Cat!
Sadly the western half of NC doesn't look to get much from this one.
4 inches would put us ahead for the year.
Charlotte doesn't need any, the 11 they got from Fay was too much at once.
The 7 we got here caused little trouble.

We have a chance to get out of a severe drought.

WOW. 2 really great weather sites. Thanks

WOW! Bookmarked that one! This is the one I usually look at, it's from a local TV station here in the Detroit area:

Not as in depth as the one you posted, but it works.

wow Cat... that is really cool thank you

 

[sweetness6280]

Totally cool. Bookmarked it. Thanks, Cat

Excellent map Cat! I find weather fascinating and displays like this make it easier for the layperson to understand.

A more mundane, but equally informative website on tropical storm activity is the Plymouth State Weather Center at http://vortex.plymouth.edu/

Hate to say it, Cat, but it's all lifted straight off NOAA's National Hurricane Center website which I find much better ( more detail, historical storm tracks and many other options ).

I believe that he said that he found one that he finally liked... he didn't say that it was perfect or the only one or THE storm tracker site... just the one that he liked.

Thanks. I'll be using these.

Okay so I'm bouncing between N.O.A.A. and Stormpulse among others.

Right now the track seems to be heading straight for Miami. (We all know it will change, but.)

I just can't imagine a major storm hitting Miami.

The devestation, the chaos, the rich trying to sue everyone they can think of because it shouldn't have happened.

On the other hand there is talk up here in West Palm Beach about opening all of the shelters if it does hit Miami.

The evacuations will be absolute torture. All of our shelters will be filled with the refugees.


What is amusing is how the local police are already talking about the potential problems.

The 1926 Hurricane hit Miami and the 1928 Hurricane hit West Palm Beach. Plus 1992 Andrew hit Miami.

My brother-in-law lived at Perrine when Andrew arrived; it destroyed his house totally.

Cat,
Using the NOAA site, it's possible to find individual buoys that transmit current meteorological data. For example, here are the observations from a buoy that's located 120 nautical miles off Cape Canaveral:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41010

As you can see, winds are now gusting out of the northeast in the mid-high 30 knots and wave heights are running around 17'. It takes a little work and experimentation to locate the different buoys (I have to reacquaint myself with the website every fall).

ETA:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?station=41010&meas=wdpr&uom=E&time_diff=4&time_label=EDT
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?station=41010&meas=sght&uom=E&time_diff=4&time_label=EDT
You can see that wind speeds and wave heights have picked up dramatically in the last twelve hours while the barometric pressure has fallen off a cliff.

Try,

I have been monitoring the N.O.A.A. Website. A lot of good info there.

On the other hand I like the map I psted because it is easy for most people to use.

Most of the maps I use are a bit more complicated. They have everything the Meteorologists use including High Pressures, Low Pressures, Winds aloft, Humidity etc.

I don't rely on the local weather prognosticators.

You might want to consider getting the fuck out of Dodge about Monday.

We shall see what happens.

If the storm comes our way then a plan will be put into effect.

The cats will be moved to a local Vet.

My wife and I can't evacuate, we have a duty to our patients. We will be at our hospital taking care of the patients.

The aftermath? Well we'll deal with that if we have to.

Cat

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Its some serious shit headed to Dodge, amigo.

Its some serious shit headed to Dodge, amigo.

I've kind of noticed.

Right now the track is for Miami or regions south.

I'm in northern Palm Beach County.

Believe me when I say I am watching Ike.

I've been through enough of Mamma Natures Blowjobs to be respectful of them.

Thanks for the concern though.

So tie your shit tight and stock up on tequila.

Thanks, Cat. I've bookmarked it.

Unless Hanna strengthens or stalls over land, it shouldn't cause a lot of damage.

Ike looks really nasty. Reminds me of Floyd in 1999. Here's hoping Ike misses us all.

I want our drought to end, just prefer milder ways of doing it.

Yep, found StormPulse yesterday, trying to find out when Ike was coming over. It's a great page.
