FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY - Tropical Cyclone Information Page
http://www.met.fsu.edu/explores/tropical.html
Latest information on Atlantic tropical cyclones. Also includes climatology, tropical weather map analyses, and more. If http://www.nws.fsu.edu/tropical/ doesn't work, this is a great alternative site.

ILLINOIS, UNIVERSITY OF .. AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN - all types of data
http://covis.atmos.uiuc.edu/covis/visualizer
Interactive site with numerous options including surface and upper air weather map plots and analyses with or without satellite image overlays, and upper air soundings. Maps can be plotted on a white background for easier printing. However, font on surface and upper air maps is somewhat difficult to read.

http://grads.iges.org/pix/pix.html
Computer-generated weather and forecast maps from data supplied by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction of the National Weather Service, NOAA.

NOAA/NWS - Selected Temperature and Precipitation Tables
http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/us/tempprecip.html
Yesterday's observed temperature and precipitation and the two day forecast for more than 100 U.S. cities. Although the data is more extensive than that found in many newspapers, it is difficult to read because of non-uniform formatting.

NOAA/NWS - Tropical Cyclone Information Page
http://www.nws.fsu.edu/tropical/
Latest information on Atlantic tropical cyclones. Includes storm history, strike probabilities, satellite images, buoy data and more!!! If http://www.met.fsu.edu/explores/tropical.html doesn't work, this is an alternative site.

NOAA/NWS - Washington, DC area office

Obviously, lots of local Washington, DC area "stuff." Many links for obtaining forecast and observational data nationwide.

PLYMOUTH STATE UNIVERSITY WEATHER CENTER
http://vortex.plymouth.edu/ or http://vortex.plymouth.edu/frame_index.html
This one is an easy-to-navigate and interactive site with an incredible array of data. Using a frames format, you can locate observed weather maps (including "create your own" back more than 24 hours), soundings, forecasts, and much more. National map plot with station model data is a bit crowded, but regional maps are close to "perfect". I'm still learning what is at this site, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with what you find. If you need a non-frames version, click on http://cyclone.plymouth.edu/make_no_frame.html

UNISYS Corporation - WEATHER PAGES
http://weather.unisys.com/
Surface and upper air data, weather maps, satellite images (12 hour history plus animation), and computer model forecasts. At present only US satellite views. Need to click on current satellite image to see the menu for recent suite of other recent images.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - satellite imagery
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/comp/latest_cmoll.gif
It's an awesome global, colorized, infra-red (temperature) view of a prolate spheroid-shaped Earth based on satellite imagery. Nope, the Earth hasn't been flattened, the shape has to do with how the data is collected and displayed.

USA TODAY Cloud Link
http://www.usatoday.com/weather/wcloud0.htm
Easy to read summary of cloud types; includes mini-photo gallery.

US Weather Pages
http://www.uswx.com/us/wx
Easy-to-navigate and interactive site with an incredible array of data. There are state by state temperature-dew point maps, historical hourly data, Intellicast links, a daily climate almanac, and much more. Click on the surface weather map and you will be transported to the state weather page; click on a station shown and you'll find an incredible wealth of data including 2 day to 2 month plots of temperature, humidity and pressure.
