From: Ed Finley on 4 Feb 2006 09:52 Does anyone know of a good website for local weather radar designed for PIE? Weather.com has a download you can install, but I'm looking for somewhere I can go on PIE without installing anything. Thanks, Ed
From: Beverly Howard [Ms-MVP/MobileDev] on 4 Feb 2006 10:29 http://www.srh.noaa.gov/port/ is, imho, currently the best What I do is to bookmark specific pages which I use regularly such as http://www.srh.noaa.gov/port/radarhl.php?radar=kgrk As always, you will have to manipulate your "view" settings for your immediate need... i.e. overview or detail. Might watch http://bevhoward.com/storm/ppcrad.htm which is a "Work in Progress" ...currently only TX and NM are functional and they point only to the ppc radar loops... I hope to have some time to do more on it within the next week. Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices]
From: Tony A. on 4 Feb 2006 11:29 You could also take a look at Weather Underground, their site has a PDA version - http://mobile.wunderground.com. To get to the radar, enter a city and click fast forecast (or enter a state, then click a city in the list, etc), then click the "radar" link at the top or the weather summary page. Since it's designed for PDAs, you might find this easier to use.
From: Ed Finley on 4 Feb 2006 11:43 Thank you both. Excellent sites and just what I was looking for.

http://bevhoward.com/storm/ppcrad.htm has just been updated and now includes single tap access to all weather radar loops in the USA Wanted to give the option of going to the location menus but found that those were not tied to the radar indentifiers. Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] |
