WMS Meteorological Data sources?

Question

I was looking in Google Earth and saw lots of feeds/KMZ for historical and current Hurricanes.

I am after some Meteorological WMS feeds into data that is related to past and present hurricanes and topical storms [like Irene (2011)] so that I can create a mashup, most likely in one of the ESRI APIs.

Meteorological data in particular, but anything else you think would be relevant.

Answer 1

Try the WMS links here:

NOAA National Weather Service

NOAA Ocean Service's nowCOAST's Map Services

Answer 2

NASA - LANCE - Rapid Response Web Mapping Service:

(Land Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS)

http://lance-modis.eosdis.nasa.gov/wms/?zoom=6&lat=22.48608&lon=-72.55444&layers=000B0FTFFFFT&datum1=08%2F24%2F2011

WMS Sources are listed in the code - most are going through MapServer but some are direct WMS calls that can be use (get permission) to render in other web mapping applications (such as ArcGIS API's)

Not a WMS source, but ESRI has a mashup relating to it:
