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.

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.
