PREDICTIONS AND MODELS
IVAN
This one could be a problem for Florida in a week.
Tropical Storm Ivan's track from National Hurricane Center:
nhc.noaa.gov
I believe these guys base their map on the NHC numbers, but are quite a bit quicker about getting the updated map online:
wunderground.com
Intellicast page for Ivan:
intellicast.com
US Navy page for Ivan:
nrlmry.navy.mil
The Boat US site from CalculatedRisk has some nice graphics all in one place. They show whatever storms are approaching. I really like this site, it is one stop shopping:
boatus.com
Manny provided this link, which tracks various models. They update the page as new storms come in, so this site is not hurricane specific:
midatlanticwx.com
Satellite view of storm:
ssd.noaa.gov
This the Accuweather animated storm map from GroundZero. Accuweather appears to have a very good reputation:
hurricane.accuweather.com
And enhanced with infrared colors:
hurricane.accuweather.com
The main Accuweather page. This does not seem to be hurricane specific so the link should be good for whatever storm is approaching:
wwwa.accuweather.com
Swiftmud site that Triffin posted. This one is interesting, it compares the NHC predicted path of the storm to the actual path of the storm as established by the planes that fly over them.
sfwmd.gov
This site has a variety of materials concerning approaching hurricanes:
crownweather.com
MESSAGE BOARDS
A weather site MoneyPenny pointed out to me, comments about the various models, lots of people who know their stuff, can't recommend it enough. Throw them a couple of bucks if your home gets spared. The site is often overwhelmed with traffic. This site is not hurricane-specific so the link is good for whatever storm is passing through:
storm2k.org
GENERAL
A site called "How Hurricanes Work" for us liberal arts majors:
science.howstuffworks.com
Here is an online map of Florida:
