2 Really Good Tropical Weather Sites

Posted by Clancy DuBos on Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 6:32 AM

We all pay closer attention to storms post-K, and that means we should pay closer attention to where we get our information about storms.  I have found two excellent weather-related sites in recent years — the tropical pages at Crown Weather and Weather Underground.  Truth is, you only need to bookmark the Crown Weather site, because it includes a “roundup” of several other sites, including Wunderground. 

 

What I like most about Crown Weather is that the person who writes the opening summary puts it in plain English (mostly) and cuts to the chase. I don’t know the writer’s identity, but he/she does a great job of distilling ALL the intelligence out there from various sources and almost always concludes with his/her best read of where a particular storm is going — and he/she is usually right.

 

Hopefully, you won’t have to be checking these sites very often in the coming months/years, but it’s always good to have them handy.

The fellows name is Rob Lightbown, and I certainly agree with Clancy, as this site seems to be the most user friendly, discernible site that I have found.Excellent information
