Good Weather sites

http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/graphicsversion/bigmain.html  Interactive.  Good site to see animations of the current weather.  Warnings and Advisors from the NWS by state.  Gives a view of the Pacific that is often not included in US satellite views

http://www.ametsoc.org/dstreme/index.html  American Meteorological Society pages of current meteorological information, with many items useful to teaching.  Good links to the NWS also.

http://www.usatoday.com/weather/wgraph0.htm  Helping you understand weather

Below are links to USATODAY.com graphics and photo scrapbooks with captions explaining the photos. These will help you understand weather, climate and some other earth sciences topics. Interactive graphics are highlighted in red.

http://www.weather-photography.com/index.php  This site contains photographs of many weather phenomena, and information on how to photograph these. The photo collection consists of five categories: Atmospheric Optics, Lightning, Clouds, Astronomy, Miscellaneous
