WX-ATLAN
is a mailing list that sends all the updates and data released by the National
Hurricane center to you via e-mail. Follow this link
for information on how to subscribe . Warning!! this list can generate
a lot of mail. In 1996 when there were 3 named storms in the Atlantic I
was receiving over 100 messages a day. The information is current and accurate but it is also voluminous.
Quick Hurricane Reference site. This wonderful site uses a left side frame to offer multiple sources for advisories, updates and images that show up in the center/right side frame. Very well done and great for trying multiple sites during busy times. This source is part of a larger Caribean weather site with local hurricane watchers. Check it out

The Weather Channel offers very good local radar coverage. Type a zip code or city name in the forcast form and go to the local site. Then click on the radar image and you will get local radar that is about 15 minutes old. The Cape Hatteras site is an example that is important to those of us on the Outer Banks.
WTKR Outer Banks Radar The radar image from Channel 3 in Norfolk. Located in Buxton this is the real deal for Outer Banks storm coverage
WRAL Radar WRAL's (Raleigh) Doppler radio. Shows most of NC,
Eastern VA and SC. Refreshes every 3 minutes, very current.
More current that the cable TV. Great for any weather use. Unfortunately it stops about East Lake and does not reach the
coast. Maybe next year.
Golden Triangle Weather Page A very complete site. The equal of the paga listed above in may respects. A strong focus on Tx.but links that serve a broader view of tropical weather as well. Stuff like storm models sites used tp predict storm movement.
PalmBeach Post Tropical Page . A cooperative page with excellent information. It even has a mailing list for updates and warnings. Well worth the visit
