Changes :
1.) Added new SST Layer. SST 26+ shows sea surface temperatures 26C and greater, with everything else transparent. The resolution for this layer is higher still than the others at (34.5 - 26) / 350 = 0.024286 degrees per pixel.... albeit at a smaller temperature range, but a more interesting range (26+) for tropical weather. The resolution of the other SST overlays is approximately (34.5 - 0) / 350 = .1 degrees per pixel.
2.) Changed from 1 SST legend to one in each SST folder. This was necessary because the added 26+ legend was a different scale than the others.
As usual, report any errors.
Enjoy

The following maps are nice from Intellicast
Surface analysis including Radar, Cloud Cover, Fronts, High and Low areas:

Jet Stream
Current Surface Analysis

Along with 300mb, 500mb & 800mb pictured here:

and lots more to choose from.
Hope these are helpful. Love what you have done so far!!

Those are all very nice, but I'm not trying to cover the CONUS with this link, but rather the Tropical Atlantic, the Carribean, and the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks for the suggestions though.

It was the smooth and the contoured level. Automatically check on whenever the NHC Track box was checked. The entire SST folder was not checked.
However, nothing seems to be working at all today, so maybe I'm using an outdated link. I'll try re-downloading it to see if that's the problem. Thanks.

Thanks, that was EXACTLY the problem. Working like a charm now.

No problem at all. Please DO let me know if you suspect something is broken, either in this thread, or a personal message.

Cape Verde and Paul:
I am having the same problem even after d/l the newest version. Although SST is not checked, the default has them load. If I check and then uncheck, the SST's go away so it's not a big deal.
Also, none of the radar links are loading. I get an error message if I check any of them (Florida). ("could not load image" with reference to the noaa site which may be down).
Still love this thing and really appreciate all of the work you have down, Paul.

I'm getting the SSTs loading when I first fire up Google Earth with the new version. The folders aren't checked, but all the descendants are in the SST Smooth and the 26+ folders.
It turns out the newer version has more stuff, but it has more stuff to turn off.
It's stil the coolest layer for weatherbugs, but it's got a programming bug in there somewhere.

Lynne,
I'm looking into why the analysis folder's item's aren't available. Not a bug on my part (surprise), but it seems that the source is temporarily unavailable. Hopefully temporarily.......the images themselve's still exist, but their system must have a problem because it's putting no data into them. I'll keep an eye on it.

CapeVerde,
I definitely forgot to put a <visibility /> tag into the kml for each of those SST images....so it's my fault...sorry . Anyway, is there one of those SST variations that y'all would like to be on by default while I'm fixing this, or do you wan't them all off?
