I'm watching this. Click the "Map" tab, zoom out, and hit the "Play" button at the bottom. It's going to be quite a ride.

Hey, benito, I'm a big Weatherspark fan, too! the combination of detailed charts and a super-long-duration animated map is nifty.

I like the way that RI has to have a line pointing to it. Yeah, the state is tiny, we know!

Nice.

This is my current wundermap configuration, I like seeing the individual storm model tracks as well as current conditions.

Yeah, the Weatherspark charts really speak to the nerd in me. (I'm pretty sure I found Weatherspark through MeFi). I just used the animated chart to figure it was a good time to dash to the Symphony Whole Foods to top off the larder.
I had jumped from wunderground to WeatherSpark, but it looks like wunderground is competitive. If I can customize my configuration like yours, Skorgu, I'll have to look back at it. Having the configuration sharable through URLs, as opposed to hidden behind Flash, would be a nice feature. Does anyone know if wunderground has anything like Weatherspark's charts?

This exists for persons with projectors and kind-humored acquaintances to pretend weatherpersonship.

Wow. Thanks! As we sit waiting for darkness to fall and the wind to rise...
(It is that big old tree that worries me.)

This is a great map, thanks! Now I can watch this anxiously instead of watching Intellicast anxiously. The rain is picking up...

Also at Wunderground, I think the Wundermap UI is nicer than the full screen site. Same data though, not that big a different.

This thing seems to keep zooming in and moving around on my iMac. It is essentially unusable. Sometimes the Apple mouse causes trouble with Google maps but this is a whole order of magnitude worse and I am not even sure it is the mouse as the zooming occurred sometimes when no one was touching the mouse. It happened in both Chrome and Safari so it is not just the browser. It otherwise looks beautiful, but frustrating that something is going screwy.

Why doesn't Google Maps have a weather radar overlay yet? That's what I want to know. They've got live traffic congestion maps, fer crissake, but you're telling me they can't work something out with the National Weather Service to overlay some damned weather maps? It's baffling. It's scandalous.

Google Earth does have weather overlays.
One site I've taken a shine to is myweather, which is by one of the companies that makes map machines and graphics for television.

storm advisory is a dead simple site for tracking the history of hurricanes.
I find it's useful as we hit the peak season and there's more than one storm a brewin'
