Official Forecasts
Good general reference
Skeetobite's Weather - storm tracks and forcasts; historical reference
CMISS - Environmental conditions, Saharan Air Layer, Steering Layers, Computerized Dvorak, Microwave imagery, Wind analysis, etc.
Tropical Atlantic Recon coverage - includes Vortex Recon, HDOB messages, and Dropsondes.
College of DuPage Weather - surface and upper air data; satellite and radar imagery; model data
Satellite Imagery
NOAA's SSD site - very good, simple to use with huricane floaters
NASA's GHCC GOES site - very good, fully customizable, long period animations
NOAA's QuikScat hurricane coverage
MODIS high res satellite coverage (not live)
Remote Sensing Systems (SSM/I, TMI, AMSR, QSCAT, and MSU) storm analysis
Tropical RAMSDIS online - satellite coverage
PSU - satellite loops
Washington University - alternative site, but very difficult to use
Radar Sources
Unofficial Western Cuba Radar Loop
KML/KMZ Layers for Google Earth
Aircraft Recon, via Tropical Atlantic
US River Height Gauges (this is an auto-refresh wrapper for the non-refreshing KMZ from NOAA)
Everything-in-once package from UIUC - just about every weather KMZ is dynamically linked from this. Don't turn them all on at once.
Forecasting Aids
Model Run Animations
FSU model site - best there is
PSU model site - alternate when FSU is down
UKMET model site (Univ. Wyoming)
NOAA's NCEP model guidance - continental US only
Development and Evolution
Tropical Cyclone Formation Probabilities - via NOAA
Favorable Shear Conditions Map
Forecast Tracks
Jonathan Vigh's track and intensity plots
Clark Evan's track and intensity plots
SFWMD Recon Tracks - NHC Forecast Track vs Recon Positions
Sea Surface Temperatures
Navy site - very good
Rutgers site - Good alternative site if the others sites is down; also provides more detailed views
Surfing
StormSurfing - General Surfing Forecast (wave heights)
Historical Maps
NOAA interactive viewer of storm tracks - very good
Worldwide storm tracks - shows actual wind speed rather than category
