I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It's smack dab in the middle of where they predict the hurricane will hit. Will be a hard weekend for us.

Wish us luck, thanks for the info.

This is great information and tools. One that I use and helps to really visualize it is at :

From there you can go to the tropical sectors to get a satellite view ( http://www.goes.noaa.gov/g8... in infra-red, water vapor or visible spectrums

Living in the Caribbean area has it's up and downs... :)

Was hurricane Katrina an act of weather warfare? HAARP is a powerful weapon!

You missed NASA's Hurricane/Tropical Cyclone Web page! We update this page daily, and it's one of the only sites you can track tropical cyclones around the world, 365 days a year in BOTH Hemispheres! We always have cool satellite images from many NASA earth-observing satellites that look at a storm's surface winds, cloud heights and temperatures and even rainfall inside a storm! It's www.nasa.gov/hurricane.

That is amazing. Will there be an app for that?

I would like to know if there is a way to compare a current hurricane, i.e., Bill, track with that of previous hurricanes such as Bob in 1991 and Carol in 1954.

You missed the best one. It's a graphical presentation by the National Hurricane Center. I live in Florida and check it every day. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtw...

I see that several other commenters agree with me. I'm simply offering the link to the graphic presentation. After years of trying just about all of your suggestions, I find that this one gives me everything that I need.

We mentioned it in a couple of past features on this topic and felt that, ironically, some of the other sites did some better infoviz with the data (the header pic came from one of the other sites using its imagery). You're right though, in some ways it is "the original" so thanks for mentioning it!

You forgot the most important one, which is where most the others get their information. And, ironically, the picture you used at the top of your article is from that source, yet you never mention where the picture came from.

The source is: The National Hurricane Center at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ :)

This is a very helpful and cool listing. Living in Florida, Hurricanes are always a concern. Thanks for helping to keep us informed. This is why I love the net. I typically use the National Hurricane Center, http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/, as I find it to be the most reliable, but I haven't tried many of the tools and sites listed.

Not sure how you forgot about http://imapweather.com (mentioned on Mashable as Spark of Genius). Not only a great app for tracking hurricanes, but you can get recon data, wind radii and much more. You can even embed the iMap on your own website for free.
