iPhone and weather site prevents a major disaster Sunday
One of my local TV stations mobile websites uses this link for radar:
http://3onthego.com/wap/weather/radar/animated/?sid=47&showstorms=10&showids=1
It's cool because if there's a thunderstorm, it'll draw arrows on the radar showing its expected movement.
If you right-click on the animated GIF, you see it's coming from wunderground.com, so maybe there's something in their PDA/MOBILE site that's similiar for your area?
I thanked you for the link last week, but now it's time to do it again. I used the 3onthego site this past Sunday to spot a major new storm and get our fleet of almost 70 sailboats off the lake just minutes before a giant thunderstorm roared up almost out of nowhere, with gale force winds over 60, large hail, and intense lightning. (Or at least, most of them, as the story tells...) Let's just say that your advice (along with my new iPhone) arrived just in the nick of time!
The iweathr.com site works as well, but I actually prefer the 3onthego site because the speed of the loop is a bit slower, it's centered exactly on my zip code, rather on the middle of the Twin Cities metro at the closer range option, and because of the directional arrows that show up on screen when major weather is on the way.
The full story is on my blog on my iWeb page:
