predicting Irene's wind
Aug. 27th, 2011 12:24 pmI got this from my brother: an interactive map of Irene's predicted wind effects, by location, on boston.com. You can either click on the map or type a zip code into the search box, and it will show an hour-by-hour bar graph of what the winds are expected to be in that location through 6pm Monday.
It lists seven cities, but isn't restricted to them. As far as I can tell, it's a U.S. national map that will show you the expected winds for anywhere (I just scrolled it around until I hit San Antonio, Texas, and got a graph for it -- for the record, if you're in San Antonio, your winds will be about 3-10mph for most of the weekend, but creep up to ~17 mph by late Monday afternoon. *g* It doesn't work for Canada, though -- sorry, Maritimers!)
Clicking one of the listed cities will change the bar graph, but won't move the map itself; you have to drag/scroll the map manually, or type in a zip code, to see the place you're asking about.
This is pretty cool.
