Near real-time wind and pressure data for the Pacific Northwest

Outside Connection is back online after recovering from the NIMDA virus. It only covers the Pacific Northwest now, but it has near real-time weather data shown as cool little icons on cool topographical maps. Historical weather data since 12:00 am every day is also available by clicking on any station icon. Enjoy.

Jim, Have you seen what Spokane NWS is doing http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/Spokane/index.shtml Click Current Weather. I think Missoula NWS may have started this. I like that there are many stations other than airports shown. If you're a C programmer, take a look at Observation Monitor at http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/wrhq/LSA/lsa1.html

Missoula used to have a web page where you could watch it would show only stations that met a certain weather criteria, such as stations where wind speed exceeded XX or those where dewpoints dropped by more than Y over a certain period. In another words, it was like an 'alerter' tool. Dennis Everett WA

If you live in California, have a look at 'http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/queryF?s=crk&d=now& span=12hourshtt...' . There are quite a few sites within California that have hourly Temperature, Wind, etc. The sites are close to soaring airports at Hemet, Warner Springs, and Crystallaire, to name a few.
