Looking wet and breezy for Friday and Saturday in the SE. Hope this one doesn't amount to much.

I've added animated, color enhanced satellite image panels extending from Africa over to around Florida to the top of this thread.

Hurricane season is on again, time to bring this back to the top. Prepare as always and hope for a favorable season.

Hey Rick,

This is a great website for tracking the tropics, the person "Jay" that designed this website put dozens of radar, satellite, vapor loop, sea surface temp, wind direction/speed maps and links to all the important websites, NOAA, Wunderground, Weather Channel, Accuweather, etc, etc all on one webpage, It's a great one stop shop, for all your mapping needs!

I've got it bookmarked on my laptop and Iphone.

Thats a nice one JP, thanks for posting it. It looks like TS Brett may be pulled off to the NE to be lost in the Atlantic, we can hope. I started putting this page up in 2004 before there were many other sites with collections of a wide variety of imagery. Today there are quite a few good ones. One of the more useful things in the current collection on this site are the various sector animated Wunderunderground color satellite images. They can really help with a rapid lay evaluation of changes in organization and direction of travel. Here's to a favorable tropical weather season.
