But here are a couple of quickies: 1. Intellicast Comes Through With Velocity Images As promised Intellicast added the Storm-Relative with Cappi Winds product to its arsenal of free weather data this afternoon. This is included for all their NEXRAD sites, which number 142 Continental US plus San Juan Puerto Rico and two Hawaii's. Intellicast's Local NEXRAD imagery is updated every 30 minutes with no delay. http://www.intellicast.com/weather/usa/nexrad 2. AccuWeather Adds MSNBC-like Radars To Personal AccuWeather In other news, AccuWeather added their new nicer "state" (44 regions of US) radars they have on MSNBC (including regional and US 24-hour precip) to their Personal AccuWeather service last week. The timing is the same for their Free service (30 min update/ 30 min. delay) but their Pay service now includes the same radars updated every 15 minutes with no delay. http://www.accuweather.com/weatherf/radarf_qx01 -- ============================================================== Jesse Ferrell - Meteorologist/Web Dev. - j{at}weatherwatchers.org Central Atlantic Storm Investigators - www.weatherwatchers.org "They're not who we're looking for; they're just meteorologists- storm chasers." --Peter Watts, "Millennium" || ICQ No. 136832 ||
