Weather IndexI must admit that I am very interested in meteorology. I like knowing the hows and whys of what's happening with the weather. Here are some great sites for you to visit. I've also put together a couple of radar pages, a weather software page, and finally a miscellaneous weather page. There are many great sources of weather information:
The NBC Action News Weather Blog is a good place for detailed information on their forecasts. Many of the bloggers will post information on conditions in their part of the city during weather events (look for me as KC_Hams). LRC Weather - A company with the main emphasis on researching, using, sharing Gary Lezak's theory the LRC (Lezak's Recurring Cycle), and creating an interactive environment for all weather enthusiasts. They also have a blog and more information on the LRC. I enjoy the KC Weather Podcast. Ed Roberts (who used to be a forecaster on local TV and is now a part of LRC Weather) puts together a great forecast every day. He also has a nice Weather Data Page. It's full of great links to current weather data sites as well as model-derived weather data. A great tool is the JoCoLINK Desktop Alert and it's way better than WeatherBug (NOTE: this does not work well with Vista). For those who are interested in becoming a weather spotter, there are three things you should do:
2) Become a Amateur Radio Operator. You will be most effective when operating with a group, plus it's safer this way. 3) Download (right-click and select "Save As") the Basic Spotter's Field Guide (557 kb) and the Advanced Spotter's Field Guide (3.2 MB). Please do not link directly to these files! Instead, direct the links to this page. Thank you!
