It's been a while since I've posted, but there's lots of work going on behind the scenes.

 

First off, I've added real-time weather data to the map.  You'll notice some markers indicating both weather and buoy stations on and off the coast.   Weather markers are blue in color, while buoy markers are orange.  

 

 

 

The data is refreshed several times an hour, but there are varying degrees of lag on NOAA's side. I'm working on getting some sources with less lag, as well as some additional sources such as nearby airports.

 

The second thing being worked on, is a big rewrite of how the model data is loaded in the browser. Currently loading data other than the default requires using the location selector and changing the region. I will admit, this isn't intuitive and lots of people have given me useful feedback on this.  When this is fixed, panning the map will automatically load the most recent data for the region displayed.
