Weather map your route

Recommended Posts

The National Weather Service has developed a powerful tool that allows users to create custom weather maps that show everything from temperatures to snow totals. The tool's most excellent feature, by far, is the ability to track future weather along the path of one's road trip.

 

The tool, called the Enhanced Data Display (or EDD), is still in its experimental stages, so the application will occasionally go offline while meteorologists and technicians tinker with it. When it's online and in good working order, though, the application is perhaps the most powerful tool available on the agency's website.

Interesting tool. Takes a bit of getting used to but great idea for longer trips.

I like it. Amazing amount of data displayed.

 

Another one that is hard to find on the weather.gov is the long range forecasts.

If you look, the jan-feb-mar for Ohio is forecasted to be normal temperatures and below average precipitation.

Southern states show below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation.

Forecasts change with new data and time.

Where do you enter a route? I don't see any panels for destination, etc.

 

I'm using MS Explorer 9. In the help section, I noticed they talked about Chrome a bit. I use Chrome but I've not been able to get it running since I updated AVG Free last week.

 

Any tips on where I can enter routes?

Ahhhh...  Loaded Firefox, and everything works!
