UK TO USA - Useful chase links -

Below are a list of useful links you might want to refer to as we start tracking our teams during their chases. The list will be added to over the coming weeks. If you have any links you think might be handy then please post them on here and we can add them.

Live data

<a href="http://adds.aviationweather.gov/satellite/">NWS Satellite</a> 1km vis and IR (useful for night), click to zoom

<a href="http://www.wunderground.com/radar/map.asp">NEXRAD radar</a> via WUnderground, click and drag to zoom, use links at top to add storm cell trackers and warnings, also the <a href="http://www.wunderground.com/radar/help.asp">help page</a> is well worth reading

<a href="http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/">Mesoscale analysis index page</a> these combine radar, satellite, surface obs, upper air obs, and the RUC model analysis, updating every hour (the radar every ten minutes). There are several sectors which sometimes change so I'm not linking directly, but here's a top tip: remove the "2" from "index2.html" and you'll get a slightly-simplified version which is I find is quicker to use.

<a href="http://www.spc.noaa.gov/compmap/">Overlay map</a> overlay IR sat and many other major parameters, very useful

<a href="http://www.wunderground.com/severe.asp?region=sp&setprefs.0.key=SVRMAP&setprefs.0.val=sp#gotoMap">Weather warnings</a> again via WUnderground, click to zoom, and no more capitals!

<a href="http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/last3hours.html">NWS reports</a> severe wx reports as they come in

County maps of <a href="http://www.okwx.net/chaser/counties_tx.gif">Texas</a>, <a href="http://www.okwx.net/chaser/counties_ok.gif">Oklahoma</a> and <a href="http://www.okwx.net/chaser/counties_ks.gif">Kansas</a>

Forecasts

<a href="http://www.wunderground.com/severeconvective.asp?outlook=today">SPC forecasts</a> via WUnderground - no more capitals! Also look for links to tomorrow and day 3 in right sidebar

<a href="http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/surface/">
RAP model output</a> all the models, nice charts, easy to use

<a href="http://weather.cod.edu/analysis/">
CoD Nexlab model output</a> all the models and more charts but more complex

<a href="http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/sref/frames.php?run=latest">NWS SREF models</a> seriously complicated but it's all there! Every chart you could think of

<a href="http://lightningwizard.estofex.org/usa.html"> Lightning Wizard</a> I use his CAPE and shear charts mainly

<a href="http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/mmbpll/cent4km/v2/">Reflectivity forecast</a> output from a special 4km WRF model formatted to look like rain radar in hourly intervals. Suprisingly accurate.

Chase reports

<a href="http://del.icio.us/dangrey/stormchasers">My links to chase reports</a> I'm keeping a list of links to chase teams (listed by surname) and their live trackers; this will change as I add and remove teams

Stuff

<a href="http://www.stormtrack.org/forum/printthread.php?t=7018&pp=40">Best charts thread</a> nice thread on Stormtrack of the best charts to use (useful as there's a lot of charts!)

<a href="http://extremeinstability.com/misc07-4-7.htm">Mike Hollingshead how-I-chase</a> this guy is a chasing natural and brilliant photographer. Also his <a href="http://extremeinstability.com/storminfo.htm">Storm 101 guide</a>

<a href="http://www.okwx.net/wx/goes.htm">Satellite-derived soundings</a> I just think this is neat You can also locate a variety of links on Stuart Robinson's pageMost of the links that you will EVER need are here on my chase tool web site
