Has anybody tried SwiftWX?   Looks pretty impressive.

I'm currently using GRlevel3 from Gibson Ridge.  But SwiftWx looks pretty good.

Art..I'm a STORMLAB user....Go to http://WWW.INTERWARN.COM and down load the trial version for free...Also try the InterWARN system that they have a free trial of....I think that it works great...The InterWARN is a fully customizable WATCH/WARNING notification system that provides audio/visual alerts via a computer down to a specific county or group of counties and has a feature where you can have watches, warnings or other specific weather products downloaded to your cellphone as a text message or to a text pager....The STORMLAB can provide full access to the WSR88D doppler RADAR suite...You can play with it for 3 weeks for free...It has a one time use fee with no monthly charge or upgrade fee if you decide to buy it...Use the Free trial and see if it could be a benefit to you...Jim

I've been an Interwarn user for many years.  Great product, though I haven't seen any updates for a while.

For radar, I've been using GRlevel3 from Gibson Ridge.

I tried StormLab when it was first issued, but there was something about it I didn't like, and opted for GR.

As far as SwiftWX is concerned, a friend gave me the link.  I'm not familiar with it.

Keep chasin' those clouds!

The STORMLAB is kinda different....You may like the GRlevel better because of the smoothing it uses it produces a more "eyepleasing" product...Evan is working on the 4.0 STORMLAB...Try the BETA version...It's using some smoothing and may be more of your liking...I like the Storm Relative Velocity on the STORMLAB...Anything that you have to pay a monthly fee for I try to avoid!!!....We may all get to try them out today and Tuesday:D:D:D....C U Later

Stormlab looks like an interesting program.  However, it seemed to bog-down my computer quite a bit (and my system isn't that old).

STORMLAB takes up a bunch of space on the hard drive but the data downloads to render the RADAR images are quite small...You may want to Defrag your hard drive or try a version update from the Interwarn site....Good Luck

Hey Vortexx..

Right now, I'm working with the web crawler plug in on Interwarn.  Trying to get it display warnings on my website.

http://www.artmorris.com

FTP is working, but the automatic summary upload from Interwarn isn't working. It'll update if I do it manually, but not automatically.  hmmm.
