Links

Here's a link to my favorite weather website hosted by the Weather Channel.  I really like this site because not only is it easy to navigate, but it gives concise information about the weather and other subjects of likeness.  It also is a great place to find radar maps and cool videos from weather instances around the world.

Another great site to go to if you're interested in looking up general weather information is http://www.weather.gov/.  Weather.gov is a highly reliable source that is put out by the National Weather Service.  They give accurate maps of current weather, air quality, river observations, and almost anything else you can imagine.  Check it out!


The National Weather Service

• Here are some more cool links from the National Weather Service's website:
• The following link is a page dedicated to hurricane observation...it's pretty cool!

One of the most accurate sites for weather on the net is the NOAA site which list's many satellite photos depicting weather conditions.  Some links below will help to give some examples of the cool satellite photos they give, as well as general links to pages on their site


NOAA

• Here's a page detailing severe storm areas.  It's interesting to note the water vapor that exists in these areas:

• If you're one like me who likes to see things in color, here's another link that has many satellite images in full color:

Lately I've been concerned with the water levels of the Chippewa River here in Eau Claire.  The NOAA has a portion of their website dedicated to moderating the severity of water levels in different rivers in different regions of the United States.  Here's a link showing the region including Eau Claire and the flooding currently.
