Ask the Meteorologists
MIKE MOSS SAYS: Jerry, Thanks for your confidence, and also for the feedback about the Interactive Radar Beta. We do expect to be making changes to that feature as time goes on, some of which have been suggested by viewers and web visitors like yourself. As you mentioned, it would be a nice improvement to have the image area remain the same when the page is refreshed and when new radar data paints onto the screen. Another suggestion that we've received and think is a good idea is having users be able to save one or more personal "favorites" so that if they have family somewhere or a vacation home they'd like to be able to quickly check on, etc, they can go right to that location. We've made the programmers who created the application aware of these ideas and they agree that those would be positive changes. We were advised that they may not be "quick fixes," though, so there may be a bit of a wait before they all show up on the site.

- This is perhaps a little naive, but without aircraft flying into a hurricane, how can you determine wind speed to a plus or minus 5mph accuracy as is being reported with Bertha? I realize the shape of the eye, cloud top temperature,etc can be used to determine relative strength, but can these wind speed numbers truly be trusted without onsite evaluation?
