It's especially interesting to watch Hermine travel up the US east coast right now. NHC forecast track here for the next 5 days: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?5-daynl#contents

Right now is especially fascinating because the Euro and GFS models have recently begun to agree on the storm re-forming into a hurricane in a couple of days off the New Jersey coast. It's a fascinating time to watch wind patterns in the US right now!

Edit: Another really interesting tool is the Total Precipitable Water product: http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/mimic-tpw/natl/main.ht...

Does anybody know what this is? https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/ort... It shows over 300F in the middle of it.

A storm. Look at the wave height. Also appears to be moving. It likely won't be there later.

Oh and that's wind speed not temp. In K/h.

Edit: actually the degrees you are seeing is the wind direction.

Here's a link with a time, so it continues to work: https://earth.nullschool.net/#2016/09/02/1500Z/wind/surface/...
