Due to the Tropical Weather lately I haven't had much time to snoop
around on the internet sites. 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.

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
