Nice find, one of the better ones I have seen. The feature of going back and looking at past storms is neat.

I prefer Wunderground. They have all the storm models and lots of other data (including a map charting past predictions against actual tracks). Its pretty neat. Oh, and Jeff Master's blog is cool.

Another vote for weather underground. I like being able to see the forecaster's notes along with the tracks and models. A lot of times they're not afraid to share speculation that turns out to be very accurate.

I just go straight to the source; NOAA

No matter which one you look at, my weekend is going to be toast here in the Fort Worth area.

They've cancelled the autocross, my church lake get together, and my outdoor music music.

bummer!

A friend of mine sent me that site last week. It may not be the end all be all, but it's a great way to quickly get the information you need on any particular storm. I'm a fan.

I... like them all. I love the look of the stormpulse site and the interactive maps. I like NOAA radar and vast numbers of different satellite images. I like Wunderground and intellicast for local weather. Weather.com has a cool feature where you can affect the trasparency of the radar over an actual street map, which is neat.

By the sounds of it, you might get exactly that, a church in a lake... So, as we say around here, God willing and the river don't rise...

All very cool sites, but what I'd like to see is a way to overlay the various model runs over each other at different times and see which ones started changing when. Like, is there anywhere we can overlay the 8am model runs against the 11pm runs? Then see what the storm actually did based on what we thought it was going to do?

Hmm

wunderground has a model verification, which shows models at various points in the storm's history. You might check that out.
