[Alpacasite] Learn to do your own weather forecast

Hi Sue,

Go to the home page of NOAA's weather division.

http://www.weather.gov/

Click on the map for your location and it should take you to the
home page of the weather bureau near you.

Once you have the local home page bookmark it!

I find the "Satellite Image" especially the "Water Vapor" loops the
most useful. If you get good at navigating your local site, you can
pretty much predict the weather over short timeframes (like 2 to 48
hours) with so much precision it's scary. It's fun yelling at the TV
weather people when you know they're wrong.

The other area that I find very useful is the "Radar Imagery" loops.

It takes some practice to interpret the all images but once you know
what they mean you can predict the start and end of rain or snow
storm to within minutes. You need to check whatever page you finally
select as your favorite multiple time a day, especially on days when
the weather is changing rapidly to build up experience on how to
interpret the images. Be patient, its worth it!
