Phooey! I could use that in my own weather tracking ...it'd be mostly for the aesthetics, though.

In the hurricane season, I use 5 sites daily. (2 of those are for local). If tropical storms pop up in the Atlantic Region, another tracking site is added.  If it is projected to track close to the Southeast US, 2 more --bringing the total to 8 sites. I've gutted most of these sites with Tampermonkey and uBlock to hone the content to just the items I need.

We have such an incredibly beautiful planet. 

You'd think we'd treat it better.

It'll be here and it'll blossom again once it shakes off the current pestilence.
