Here's an interesting weather tool that I discovered recently. On this page...<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.noaa.gov/">http://www.noaa.gov/</a><br /><br />...search for a city and state or zip code. Then click on 'Hourly Weather Graph' in the lower right corner. (Some cities might not have the hourly graph.)<br /><br />Here's a sample for Richmond, VA: <a href="http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Richmond&state=VA&site=AKQ&textField1=37.5536&textField2=-77.4606&e=1&FcstType=graphical">http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Richmond&s<br>tate=VA&site=AKQ&textField1=37.5536&textField2=-77.4606&e=1&<br>FcstType=graphical</a><br /> <br /><br />Another interesting WX tool is the ADDS Experimental site, especially the prog charts, which show rain predictions: <a href="http://weather.aero/progs/">http://weather.aero/progs/</a>

Don,<br /><br />Have you seen this site that uses the NOAA data to make a graph that I find a bit more intuitive than whats on the actual NOAA:<br /><br /><a href="http://usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?sta=KIPJ&model=avn&state=NC&Submit=Change+Location">http://usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?sta=KIPJ&model=a<br>vn&state=NC&Submit=Change+Location</a><br /><br />

Yeah, I look at it every day. It is more intuitive, but the NOAA site has a lot more info.

Here's a Norwegian site that has world coverage: <a href="http://www.yr.no/">www.yr.no</a><br />Just type the name of any place on the planet and you get up to ten days of weather. (They also indicate probability that they're right!)<br />For the first 60 hours they also have an hour-by hour map indicating clouds/precipitation.

That's pretty cool, Bard. I found 'Lake Norman of Catawba' and I like the hour by hour map, especially the wind arrow. Now, if I can only learn to think in metric units...

Rule of thumb here is that m/s multiplied by 2 gives roughly wind speed in knots - which is what interests pilots and sailors alike.<br />

OK, I have the m/s converted to mph (multiply m/s by 2.2). Where do I find the probability of the correctness?

I don't find the probabilities, either, Dennis. Converting m/s to knots is even easier--it's very close to 2x. (Google says 1 (m/s) = 1.94384449 knots.)

Probability of correctness is colour coded in the long term forecast. Green square means 'Rather certain', Red square means 'Uncertain' and the yellow is somewhere in between.

Thanks, Bård! That's really cool. It's so cool it's hot (and much hotter than Bekkestua right now).
