Two websites you can use to track Matthew (wind speed maps)

This map will show you the current wind on the ground anywhere on earth, including over the ocean.  It is updated every 3 hours.  You can slide around the globe and zoom into Florida, or wherever.

This map only shows the USA, but if you hover over any spot, it will give real time wind speeds at that spot, including off the coast.  I believe it is constantly updated.  You can zoom on this one as well, and it shows major city locations.

that first site is absolutely amazing.

it opened with a close up on japan (just as a warning), but was very easy to zoom out and rotate.   this is going in my weather bookmarks.

Both websites are really cool! Thanks for posting. I'm not very well educated in this storm stuff. What's considered a dangerous wind speed? What parameters are we supposed to look for? We are nowhere near, but I am really interested in checking how things play out during the weekend.

 

Praying for everyone's safety!!
