"This is the WEATHER server, brought to you courtesy of the WAIS folks from
Thinking Machines, and the weather folks at VMD.CSO.UIUC.EDU and the
University of Michigan.
Currently you'll get the best results by asking this server for 'weather'.
The returned list of files should include this file, as well as the day's
satellite weather maps. You might want to refine your search by including
\"gif\" if you'd rather get the maps, or \"txt\" if you want the textual
weather forecasts. You can even ask by city, but if I'm not server the
text for that city, you won't get it.
I used to superimpose the MAP outline (that can be found in CGRID.GIF) onto
the satellite maps, but it seems to be rather bad, so I'm no longer doing
it. Instead I'm just providing some smaller versions of the maps to
decrease download time.
I have also begun posting weather reports for a few cities around the
country. Ask for \"txt\" and you'll get a list. If there's a place you'd
like that you can't see let me know.
If you have comments suggestions or wish to help, send mail to
weather-server@quake.think.com
Thank you.
- The Weather Master
