It looks like this is just the viewer. I am not sure where you get the
weather data.

After you configure the options, the program will download the GFS
model data going out as far as 8 days. You can then roll it forwards
and backwards on your screen. It is very useful for spotting weather
systems as they are first developing. The professional
meteorologists use the same data but they have accesss to many
different models. The GFS is one of the better ones however.

For my purposes the NOAA hurricane center and the local RADAR is all I
need.
RADAR is very good for the near future. Beyond that you need a
weather model. That's what the NHC does and all of the popular
weather sites.
