Most images are updated every few minutes
(especially radar). Click RELOAD often to ensure that you are viewing the
most current image.
Since the site relies heavily on large graphics, it is designed
to work best at a screen resolution of 800x600 or greater. If you
find yourself having to scroll horizontally a lot, consider changing your
screen size.
"Printer-Friendly" versions of most text products are available. If you need to print a text product, display the product on the screen as usual, then click the "Printer-Friendly" link at the bottom of the page.
