Many of the weather websites that I use have URL's that are dynamically generated and only valid for a short time. . . . They want the instant gratification of a live link.
Properly space web cameras can give a good idea of what the weather will be in the future. I like the West Wendover camera. On a day like today, I can see around sunset what the weather is probably going to be like in Salt Lake and Tooele in a few hours by looking at the Wendover camera. It gives a more accurate visual impression than the IR satellite image. West Wendover now http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/slc/camera/single/WestWendover.php vs. West bench North South Salt now http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/slc/camera/single/NSL.West.php vs. the IR sat image http://www.weather.gov/sat_tab.php?image=ir Looks like no clearing tonight.
If we are in a stable and clear weather pattern, I then use the mesoscale map that I gave the link to (it's in the archives if you want it). It gives wind arrows with feathers on them for strength and a temperature and gust speed number. Roll your mouse over them and you get elevation, humidity and dew point and in some sites . . . Click on a site and see a 2 day history of wind temperature and dew point.
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/slc/current/meso.nwut.php Oh, that's what your'r supposed to use that map for. You had me wondering. -:)
I also look at weather sounding information from the U of Wyoming. Weather soundings show you temperature and dew point in the vertical direction as well as precipitible water in the entire air column.
That's a good one, Daniel. I hadn't thought of that. http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/sounding.html - Kurt _______________________________________________ Sent via CSolutions - http://www.csolutions.net
