Directions for Background Loading of Weather Sites:

(Note: If your computer has a very limited amount of memory load only 2 or 3 sites at a time.)

When you click on a link, it will appear in a new browser window. Click on the weather site link that you want to load. As soon as a new window appears shrink (do NOT close) the window and you will return to the original window. Choose another link and shrink that window as soon as it appears. Once you have clicked on each of the sites you want and shrunk the windows, you can view any of the sites as they load or load new sites from your first window (ie: from your bookmarks, go location, etc.) and your chosen weather sites will continue to load in the background.

How Does Background Loading Work?

Background loading of weather information is accomplished by opening a new browser window for each image and loading all the images while you work in another browser window. Clicking on the links on this page will automatically load each site in a new browser window.

When you want to view your downloaded weather sites, Click on a window (icon) on the command line to open that window. This allows you to compare information from different maps by switching between windows. Once the windows are filled you do not need to be on line to view the separate windows.

When you want to end your browser session and close all the open windows, click on File .. then choose Exit to close all windows.
