New Idea
« on: October 22, 2010, 02:25:03 PM »
I've downloaded an emulator off the internet and have been working to modify it so that it covers weather throughout the entire United States. This is just an idea, but I've been thinking of posting videos of that emulator every 3 hours with updated information. This way, anyone who doesn't have their city listed can check these videos to see what the weather is. Those whose cities are already covered can continue giving information, obviously. This project just intends to visualize all the data below.

Also included are national thunderstorm forecasts and the tropical update.

Let me know what you think, so I can start right away or abandon the project.

EDIT: Admins, if this needs to be moved, please do so.

What sort of emulator is it?  The idea sounds pretty sweet!

The emulator was made by Andrew Poecker, but I'm doing a complete and utter overhaul of it, almost to the point where the original template is unrecognizable. I'll be starting a new thread to show a few slides off.
