Weather Map Archives Needed for Summer 2007?

Question

I am looking for SOME website that has historical data for temperatures and jet streams for the U.S. starting in June 2007 until the present. Having performed exhaustive searches, I can't find anything relevant to what I'm looking for. I want to see, if possible, animated pictures of what occurred across the lower 48 states during the Summer of 2007. Does anyone know of such a site? Everything I find is useless isobar maps in archives that don't show temperature and jet stream together. Help. Thank you.

Answer 1

Well, I take a bit of offense at the phrase "useless isobar maps" but I think you may be looking for something that is so specialized that you won't find it in archives. My suggestion is to make such maps yourself and then animate them. I'm not sure how soon you need them but this is not as difficult as it sounds. There is some free software called GrADS (http://www.iges.org/grads/) that you can use for making custom weather maps, and as you've found there is lots of archived weather data around. You might also try http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/Composites/Day/ to create your own maps or maybe just the maps at the Daily Weather Map site http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/dailywxmap/index_20061106.html
