I spent a little more time last night looking over the NOAA website, and checking out all of the information that they offer.  I was actually surprised to find that maybe I’ll be going to Weather.gov more than Weather.com!  Not only has the site really evolved to provide some amazing information about the weather, but there are no annoying ads to have to look at!

Here is one of the pages that I really liked … the National Weather Service Pacific Southwest Graphical Weather Forecast.  This particular link will take you to their “loops” which are a series of animations that you can view of all sorts of weather related information.  If you choose “Weather” in the “Forecast Element” list box, and then click the “Play” button in the “Looping Control” you will get to see a multi-day animation of the coming weather.

I have to admit that I am really impressed with the programmers that wrote this … it could still be a little more user-friendly, but it is completely usable and provides everything that I want to see or know about … and all with NO ADVERTISEMENTS!  Give it a try and let me know what you think … I think that I like what I see!
