Downloading Weather data-Grib files

I have just discovered a very useful tool for looking at the weather.

It is a free program for downloading Grib weather files. It allows you to download the data very quickly then display the wind directions and speeds with the associated isobars for any area that you chose.

This program is available from Grib.us at: http://www.grib.us/

This is a tool that any serious sailor will find useful.
