Now the Tulsa, OK Forecast Office is experimenting with offering forecast files for Google Earth. It looks like the National Weather Service is quickly becoming one of the most geek-friendly government agencies."

  1. The same weather service by bherman · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't forget everyone, this is the same weather service our friends at Accuweather and like minded companys are trying to get to stop their innovation.

    I pay for them to gather the weather, why should I have to pay accuweather to give it to me in a more readable format.
    I'll let the guys/girls that gathered it in the first place make it purdy!
