NWS Charleston, SC - Weather Briefing

NWS Enhanced Data Display (EDD)

The Enhanced Data Display (EDD) is an experimental GIS-centric meteorological display interface. It is capable of displaying a wind range of fields, including: forecasts, radar, satellite, hazards, river levels, surface and marine observations, upper air data, models, climate outlooks, webcams, as well as aviation, fire weather, winter weather, tropical and marine elements.

This is a great display to enhance Situational Awareness!
