CHASING TOOLS

CELL PHONE FRIENDLY VISIBLE SATELLITE PAGE!

Clickable image maps for those who have slow connections (like over a CELL phone).  "Low Res." images average between 8 and 10K in size, compared to ~ 125K for UCAR and over 300K for WxTap!

ASOS VOICE NUMBERS

ASOS voice numbers can be a valuable tool when out chasing, especially when visibility may be poor and you are out of cell coverage.  This link goes to the Aviation Weather Center.

CENTRAL US MAPS

From my own chasing experience, I have found out the hard way that it is good to know what the area is like before you go chasing there. The Relief Maps give you and idea of the elevation, while the Satellite Images show you the vegetation type (forests or not) and other surface characteristics. Make sure to take into account the time of year the photo was taken in your interpretation.
