Whenever I'm trying to understand what's going on with the weather, I really like having reports like these available. As long as the stations are working and reporting, it's fairly close to real time.

And the one at Ocean City, MD (just south of the Delaware line) is starting to show a rise in levels even though the wind speed (at 8:40am) is only 11 kts gusting to 20.
