Ray's Quick View South Florida Weather Page

My collection of some of the best hurricane and weather sites around.  These have stood the test of time.  Beware of weather sites to hurricane information from Florida State University weather dept.  In years past, as the storm approached, the access to the public was abruptly cut off about 36 hours before the storm hit!  Imagine my surprise!  These sites have usually been available throughout the storm period.  Again, your experience may vary.
