Bill Adler's Weather Page

It's the pilot in me.  I love the weather.  Or, to be more precise, I love to know what the weather is going to be.  So I created this page of links to some of the best weather on the net.  Enjoy the weather and may the wind always be at your back.  And if you're interested in doing something about the weather, become a volunteer weather spotter for the National Weather Service's Skywarn program.
