NEW AND IMPROVED RADAR AND SATELLITE ADDED TO THE SITE

We have been making several changes to the site behind the scenes over the last few weeks. Some additional, exciting features are being added. One of which you will notice is the new radar and satellite at the bottom of the home page. The old radar and maps page is now gone. The new radar is fully interactive. You can zoom in or out across the entire United States or make it full screen by using the navigation controls on the left hand side of the radar. There is even options to turn on weather warnings when severe weather is affecting the region.

Other features will be added over the next few weeks, so keep checking back. Be sure to let us know how you like the new radar.

HURRICANE PATRICIA NOW THE STRONGEST HURRICANE EVER RECORDED

Hurricane Patricia, in the eastern Pacific, is now the strongest hurricane ever recorded with maximum sustained winds of 200 mph. She is expected to make landfall, along the western Mexican coast around Manzanillo, later this afternoon or this evening as a powerful category 5 hurricane with catastrophic results. As this powerful cyclone moves into Central Mexico, its outer bands and mid and upper level moisture will be moving into North Texas interacting with an approaching cold front. This will exacerbate the heavy rain conditions here allowing for more rain to fall through Sunday. DFW Airport has already picked-up about 5.18 inches of rain and could easily get another 3 to 5 inches by Sunday.
