MSNBC is featuring a newly revised hurricane tracking map on their web site. In addition to following the big hurricanes, you can track tropical storms and depressions on the map as well. Information that is displayed includes — projected path of the storm, 12 hour intervals of approximate tracking and estimated wind speeds along the storm path. This is one of the best weather tracking/forecasting tools that I’ve ever seen and caused me to wonder whether someday the TV weatherman could be totally replaced by this type of computerized information.

PS - TV weathermen have already been replaced by computers - but we keep them around just to watch their on-air freak outs.
