Weather Tool for fishermen

[jcupo6]

I'm creating a website for us fishermen which will allow us to view multiple weather website forecasts on one page. I'm finishing up the Delaware Bay now, but I'd like to add more fishing locations. Let me know some location you'd like to see added.

Right now only the Lower Delaware Bay is complete. Upper and Middle will be done within a day or two.

I'd like to include the Chesapeake Bay, but I don't fish there and don't know how it's broken down. If someone can give me forecast locations or zip codes, I can start immediately.

These are the only two sites I use to forecast the conditions on the Chesapeake. The rest come from experiance

CBOFS: Surface Winds for Forecast Cycle
NDBC - NWS Forecast

I've received much more feedback than anticipated!! I added a landing page where you can pick your location to make the site a little easier to navigate. It looks very plain right now, but I'm trying to get the content done before making it look more appealing.

I've added a few more locations and will continually post updates.

- Delaware Bay is complete.
- Barnegat Bay is complete.

@jucpo6, if you'd really like to do something like this. May I recommend displaying the information directly on your website using the Weather API tool they offer.

Weather API : Weather Underground

Or even something as simple as the widgets below.

I use it in NY. NOAA at your fingertips and friendly to navigate. Weather, tides, and warnings combined.
