I read a newspaper article about skeetobiteweather.com which said it had a feature that predicted windspeeds to an address. I poked around that website and couldn't find anything about it. Can somebody help me out?
Thanks.

That article was posted here a few days ago, and I think it said it can predict winds for a certain area, and is working on a feature that could predict winds to a specfic address.

Visitors can plug in their zip code and get a prediction of wind forces for their block, hour-by-hour, before a hurricane hits.
"Soon, we'll be able to do it for your exact address.

Currently we are testing a product that can indicate windspeeds within a specfic Zip Code. This data is based on the official forecast data from the NHC. As the technology improves, we hope to provide forecast windspeed and direction at the street address level.
Pretty cool stuff, but it's far from perfect and will only be as good as the official data it is based on. This product will be thoroughly tested with a real landfalling system or two before we release it.
