When we were active in ARES, we participated in many
(even ran a few) severe weather nets. We were always looking for sources of
information, and wishing we had some kind of access to realtime NEXRAD
(National Weather Service Doppler Radar). You had a couple of web sites (like
Intellicast), but their NEXRAD images
were only updated every 30 minutes. Finally, an outfit called
WeatherTAP comes along. For 63 bucks a
year, you get almost instantaneous access to the latest NEXRAD image from any
site in the US! Since the first of 2001, the
National Weather Service has been able
to provide realtime images, but WeatherTAP has many enhancements that still
make it worthwhile. Highly Recommended!
