You can even pass lat/long points to the forecast page and it will pull up the closest weather station, even points in the ocean work.

- yardie 8y ago> You can get an emergency radio capable of receiving VHF NOAA weather alerts. Apparently this was grandfathered in a long time ago. NOAA is only allowed to send weather reports by radio and on specific frequencies. Doing the same with the internet, why that would be communism!
