| -------------------- Satellite -------------------- Floaters: NOAA: https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/floater.php?stormid=AL092022 Also contains "Mesoscale loop" linked from that page. To get to loops you can control, with each band an option, go to "HU Ian - Channel Loops" tab above imagery loop you can't control. Band 13, which I look at most (imagery every 10 minutes): https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/floater_band.php?stormid=AL092022&band=13&length=24 If you like for the NOAA imagery not to move, here is Southeast satellite (imagery every 5 minutes): https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16§or=se&band=13&length=12 Colorado State (imagery every 5 minutes): https://rammb-data.cira.colostate.edu/tc_realtime/storm.asp?storm_identifier=al092022 Contains various other data too. Mesoscale Floaters: A note about mesoscale floaters: Make sure they have current data. Some might change the link and if you visit the old link you'll see older data. If the mesoscale floater has changed positions over the storm, you may need to find the updated link to get data. There are two mesoscale floaters. They reposition depending on where they want either 30 second or 1 minute imagery. Keep that in mind. A link that is always the same will eventually link to something else. For Ian, it was previously on mesoscale floater 1 and now it's on 2. NOAA (imagery every minute): https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/meso_index.php Then choose from the top of the page the link that is active for the area you want. (look at time, in UTC, which is four hours ahead of EDT) The link to a particular mesoscale floater for a storm changes. The latest link is linked from the NOAA link at the top of this post containing the floater for Ian. But this is the main mesoscale floater page. A storm name does not appear on the page. As of posting, Ian is on floater 2.

Not as large or as detailed. US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Tropical Cyclone Page: https://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/TC.html Click storm name if Ian is not on front page. This site is not that easy to navigate. I also wish they described some of the advanced satellite products better. -------------------- Radar -------------------- MRMS radar on an interactive map: https://mrms.nssl.noaa.gov/qvs/product_viewer/index.php?time_mode=update&zoom=6&clat=33.9&clon=-80.5&product_type=crefls&product=CREF&opacity=0.8 MRMS radar map with 72 hour rainfall totals displayed: https://mrms.nssl.noaa.gov/qvs/product_viewer/index.php?time_mode=update&zoom=6&clat=84.3&clon=-80.5&product_type=q3rads&product=Q3EVAP72H&opacity=0.8 NOAA radar, standard display for Southeast: https://radar.weather.gov/region/southeast/standard Charleston, SC short range radar, for later: https://radar.weather.gov/station/kclx/standard NOAA radar, full interactive display: https://radar.weather.gov/ A week ago I wrote some on my website about how to use this display: http://tropicalatlantic.com/radars/#us It's kind of difficult. For watches and warnings I use the NOAA display, though if it's for me I just go to a page I bookmarked with the point forecast for me from NOAA that you get after you enter your zip code: https://www.weather.gov/ You can see which alerts apply to you by which are linked on the page in the "Hazardous Weather Conditions" section that appears above the forecast when there are alerts. Charleston, SC for example: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=32.7812&lon=-79.9316 Brian McNoldy creates long loops of storms in real time: https://bmcnoldy.rsmas.miami.edu/tropics/radar/ Radar page from Mark Nissenbaum: https://moe.met.fsu.edu/~mnissenbaum/radar Some of these will likely be turned off once the storm passes: Charleston, SC: https://moe.met.fsu.edu/~mnissenbaum/RadarArchive/KCLX/loop.html Very wide view of Southeast U.S. and more: https://moe.met.fsu.edu/~mnissenbaum/RadarArchive/MRMS2/loop.html You can create loops of up to 200 images. College of DuPage also has really long radar loops.
