24-Hour Precip Images from Earl (get them before 8am if possible as they will change them) Accu US http://www.accuweather.com/weatherf/radarmr_qx01?zipcode=&partner=ACCUWEATHER&selecttwo=US_&selectthree=24 Accu FL http://www.accuweather.com/weatherf/radarmr_qx01?zipcode=&partner=ACCUWEATHER&selecttwo=FL_&selectthree=24 Accu GA http://www.accuweather.com/weatherf/radarmr_qx01?zipcode=&partner=ACCUWEATHER&selecttwo=GA_&selectthree=24 WSI US http://www.intellicast.com/weather/usa/precip WSI FL http://www.intellicast.com/weather/tpa/precip/ WSI GA http://www.intellicast.com/weather/atl/precip/ NetNews: [NetNews: Recent news about additions and enhancements to Major Weather-Related Internet Sites, brought to you by CASI, the Central Atlantic Storm Investigators (www.weatherwatchers.org).] The "Local NEXRAD Radar Wars" continue this week with both WeatherTap and AWC considering image changes. AWC has publicized their first try on their website: http://www.weatherconcepts.com/graphics/junk.gif which adds less intrusive city names and adjusts the color table to be more like their old images before the conversion to Freese-Notis. AWC is also claiming 3-8 minute updates... I was under the impression that NWS NEXRADs were 10 in clear air, 6 in precip, and 5 in severe weather mode. (Someone mentioned "hurricane mode", is that 3 minutes?) WeatherTap is also trying some things, but not publicizing it on their website (sample is same as it was). They are adding city dots and names. I grabbed this one this evening: http://www.weatherwatchers.org/temp/temp.gif -- ============================================================== Jesse Ferrell - Meteorologist/Web Dev. - j{at}weatherwatchers.org Central Atlantic Storm Investigators - www.weatherwatchers.org "You're caught up in the Internet, You think it's such a great asset, but you're wrong, wrong, wrong!" --Jimmy Buffett || ICQ No. 136832 ||
