    Weather Bug will give you national and local winds and weather.
    Click on "wind"... regional and national are provided.

    This will give you the wind direction and speed.


    That map is mesmerizing. I like it.

    Midland Weather radio at Walmart with S.A.M.E. technology about $30.

    NOAA.gov and click on the box at top that says weather.
  • Here is the link I use for fast viewing of weather. It is centered over South Dakota but you can quickly zoom out or click it with your mouse to drag the map to any area... and then zoom in very very close. You can also use the layers (drop down box) to find out where the alerts are...and which direction the cells are moving.

  • Purchase a NOAA weather radio which will provide local and regional weather information in virtually all parts of the US. About ten years ago we avoided driving right into a tornado due to having a CB with a weather receiver.

    We now never travel out of the area without a working dedicated weather radio.
