Intellicast has introduced two new sections on their website which include Live Weather Data: A section for Golfers, and a section for Sailers. Both sections include attractively colored maps, which are region-zoomable, for a number of conditions related to the sport, which also are of general meteorological intererest, such as Thunderstorm Forecast, Wind (Streamline) Forecast, Precip (POP) Forecast, etc. Additionally the NWS Marine Text Forecasts are available in the Sailing section. These are available in 4 forecast periods, all zoomable to the Intellicast 37 US Regions. http://www.intellicast.com/golfcast/ http://www.intellicast.com/sailcast/ In other news, Yahoo's weather service (by WNI) at http://weather.yahoo.com/images.html has traded in their satellite MPEG animations for GIF animations. This means slightly lower quality but easier downloads. They have Satellite animations for every major continent or sub-continent of the world. -- ============================================================== Jesse Ferrell - Meteorologist/Web Dev. - j{at}weatherwatchers.org Central Atlantic Storm Investigators - www.weatherwatchers.org "And here a twister comes... here comes the twister." --Talking Heads || ICQ No. 136862 ||
