If you go to www.wunderground.com and use a VI zip code to get a forecast page - the radar on there is very useful.
Click on the radar image -- use your cursor to define a smaller box around your particular area - leave plenty of room to the S,E,and N -- [you can now save that particular viewing area in Bookmarks,Favorites whatever you use] - it can also be animated to show you the last 30 min. so you can see squalls coming and their direction.

DixieChick: If you read up on meteorology and learn about the information the various maps provide, you can get a lot from Crown Weather: http://www.crownweather.com/?page_id=29. You will feel like you slept at a Holiday Inn Express!!

I like marquitos... gives the satellite pictures and the pictures with all of the pretty colors that I can't really read... also, any advisories. 🙂

You can look here for up to the minute weather. No radar....yet.

That's my weather station on the north side of STT.
You can try out the cam too but I think the lens is too short. It's a Panasonic 131 on a ledge in the kitchen. I plan to upgrade on my next trip.
