Like I said, I don't know where SB is today. Nevertheless, his graphics are more detailed, even if we have to adjust in our minds based on newer information. It's nice to see *where* this puppy is going.

Agree, I wish NHC would use state of the art graphics and not state of the ark.

Sorry folks... busy with a tradeshow and building the "next thing" for weather enthusiasts.

We are in the process of automating our maps. This program is nearly complete. Until we are done testing, our maps may be a little late (and still created manually).

We will be posting new maps with the 11pm advisory.

Our maps will include:

1. Automated models (as available)
2. Automated track maps (as released by the NHC)
3. Historical track maps
4. Basic windfield maps until 24 prior to landfall
5. Extreme close up and enhanced windfield maps within 24 hours of landfall

As always, feel free to use images found in the public areas of Skeetobite.com.

That looks like Microsoft Streets and Trips. I LOVE IT!!! Street-level mapping and no guessing at the Lat and Longtitude anymore. 8-)

Seconded. It was also very gracious of the Skeetobite guy(s) to take suggestions from the S2K community last year to create even better images this year.
