Relevant Weather Links

The following links are either already set to display the nearest station to Widewater State park or could not be set, but can be easily zoomed.  A couple are for your typical weather forecast which is great for planning field work, as well as more detailed forecasting links.  I linked a number of pages related to hydrology of the rivers and streams as well as rainfall information.  These links were selected due to the two rivers bordering the parks as well as the number of marshes and wetlands within the park.  I selected a link for historical data that covers a variety of topics like weather, wind, barometric pressure, rain, and snow.  I also do a lot of GIS work with my job so I was excited when I found one link with NOAA that is for downloading GIS file of weather information.  Lastly, I selected a link for fire weather forecasting.  This link is not directly applicable to my site as wild fire is not common and I do not conduct prescribed fire on the site.  It does have applications for guaging droughts and can be very useful for other sites as well.
