Where does Fishing My-Cast data come from?

Digital Cyclone ingests weather data via satellite directly from the National Weather Service using NOAAport. NOAAport is the mechanism by which the National Weather Service distributes its data to its local offices. Each time a request is made to My-Cast, our servers capture the most current weather data for the specific location requested and return it to the handset. The radar images are between 5 to 8 minutes old. National Weather Service text products and severe weather information are available as soon as they are issued.
