Hi Chuck!
I'll check out the Navy site. Thanks! I have found that there is no
single site that gives you *ALL* of the info, but that you have to
have a collection of sites to get the full picture, and some have more
to offer than others. Also, all on Weather Underground (as far as I
have seen) is free of charge.
Cheers!
Eric
