Can look at wind/temps at 850 mb,700 mb, 500 mb, etc.
Ohio State Upper Air Maps
Excellent options to look at upper air maps at various pressure levels
SFSU Website, Pressure Maps
Great website of overlays of contoured heights/pressure with satellite imagery.
U WY Upper Air
The latest that I found, it gives a good N American view
Upper Air Plots
Includes isentropic analysis options
Upper Air Maps, Lyndon State College
Upper Air Maps from the Storm Prediction Center
Decent Website
Soundings (Air Ballons):

Click on station (ex. CHS) to view rawinsonde data in the Skew T/Log P diagram
U of WY Sounding Website
Another source for soundings, recently modified
Weather Analysis Page, Soundings
Another sounding link
Unisys soundings
Another site to get soundings, this one has some real good info with it.
GOES Soundings
Great website!
Satellite Imagery:
GOES Website
Great starting point to look at any imagery
UCAR Satellite website
Great site, good for animations
Space Science and Engineering Center, U of WI
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/

Hurricane Information
GFS/AVN Model Forecasts & Animations
Great long term model, looks way into the future. Use the 12 hour precip loop (gif) image.
Weather Underground Tropical/Hurricane Data
One of the quickest and most updated sites on the net. They post NOAA's updated before NOAA does. Models included... great site
Underground Marine Weather
Want some Bouy data... here you go (click on station number for temp, pressure, wind, etc maps; or the wind symbol for more details.
Hurricane & Storm Tracking

Experimental forecast Tropical Cyclone Genesis Potential Fields
Use the cmc loop... it's the best
NRL Monterey Marine Meteorology Division Tropical Cyclone Page
Tropical Surface Weather Map
Updated every 6 hours
Model forecasts at MidAtlanticWx.com
Tropics at Crownweather.com
Mostly synthesizes graphics from other sites but brings them together in one link here.
Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center
I have generally found this site to be slow but it is the only one I can see with animations of model forecasts that include the Pacific Ocean
Atlantic Hurricane Database Re-analysis Project
Hurricane database headed by Chris Landsea, with data going back to 1851

Good way to look for future storm development forecasts
Forecasting Information
Various things at the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center
Can get forecasts of heavy precip and forecasted fronts on the weather maps
Numerical Model Plots
Statistical Modeling Branch
This has MOS Information. We are mostly concerned with GFS (AVN) MOS, NGM MOS, and ETA MOS
UCAR Plots of ETA Model
The ETA Model is the Main Numerical Model used in forecasting for large areas. The animations are neat, try the MSLP/Winds for a start
UCAR Progs
Quick access to UCAR weather predictions up to 48 hours in the future
UCAR/NCEP Plots of MRF Model
Plots of weather predictions up to 240 hours later
ETA Forecasts, GRADS
Another link to ETA Forecasts. No animations but some maps are EXCELLENT and VERY USEFUL in weather discussions. These include the "500mb geopotential height and vorticity" and "CAPE" maps. The vorticity map is great for positive and negative vorticity advection
AVN Forecasts, GRADS
Another different link to the AVN forecasts, as with the ETA grads link, some great maps
MRF, GRADS
NCEP Modeling Page
NCEP Products related to models
U WY Model Page
