This one looks just about as tightly wound as the last one depending
on where you are. Should start heating up on Sunday and Monday.

Batten down the hatches.

What program is the shot from?

It's called "Viewfax". It gives you a variety of options for
downloading and displaying the GFS weather model. You can get it
he

It's an easy install but usage and interpretation involve a bit of a
learning curve. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to
help.

Two years ago I was able to identify the weather system that
eventually became Hurricane Sandy before anyone else was talking about
it.

Heh. You are talking about a nor'easter that nobody around here have
mentioned yet. I mentioned it to my wife and she looked at me like I
had two heads.

Be interesting to see what develops.

Is this a projection of what the low pressure area around the Virgin
Islands is going to do?

I took a look at Wayne's link for the software. I think I am going to
download it and give it a whirl. Looks interesting.

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

For my purposes the NOAA hurricane center and the local RADAR is all I
need.

Where do you get the data?
