National Weather Service Forecast
The National Weather Service's mission is to provide weather, water, and climate data, forecasts and warnings for the protection of life and property and enhancement of the national economy.
National Weather Service Water Vapor Map
I enjoy this water vapor map because it visualizes possible locations of precipitation throughout the country. Water vapor patterns are characterized by the different air masses that advance on the country.
Interactive Global Wind Map
I am a huge fan of this interactive wind map. It takes real time recordings of wind patterns and displays them in a user-friendly animated format. It is very easy to pan around the entire globe and I enjoy switching between the different spatial overlays such as temperature, total precipitable water, relative humidity, and total cloud water.
WunderMap
The WunderMap is a very clean and detailed surface map. I specifically like how it incorporates temperature colors and wind directions when displaying the weather station observations. This feature makes it very easy to notice trends on a national level. Predictive features such as rain starting times, storm paths of travel, and flood predictions are very impressive features.
