Storm Intercept Forecasting Links

© 1995-2009 Roger Edwards, all rights reserved. Last updated 11 Apr 9 for several model tables

Here's a list of my favorite Web sites that directly benefit storm intercept forecasting, arranged by forecast period then by data type. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive -- just to make my life easier when doing storm forecasting out on the road. If you find this page useful, bookmark it. If not, ignore it. I'll update this as needed; so please tell me if you find a bad (or better) link. Send me e-mail.
