Riffs: Jay Grymes, chief meteorologist, WAFB 9News

“You mean besides Channel 9’s Web site?” Grymes quips. He recommends the LSU Ag Center site, which collects data from 23 stations around Louisiana, every minute. This feature allows web surfers to see weather, past and present, plus forecasts in real time. Also check out the Daily Extremes link, which lists the extremes in all facets of weather throughout Louisiana. The site boasts “agri-climatic” information ranging from solar radiation amounts to soil temperatures. “It’s way more than just temperatures,” Grymes says. “It’s a complete environmental network.”
