Google Earth has just launched a new weather network layer - clouds, radar, and conditions and forecasts - data provided by weather.com. And while this type of data was available via other dispersed network links, which could be loaded and saved individually, it's now all in one place and part of the Google Earth network - available by default in the layers selection.
This will be quite useful for photo trip planning...

Thanks for the heads up.
I'll have to check it out soon.

Are you saying it overlays current conditions on GE's satellite photos? Does it 3-D, too?

Yes. The weather data is as current as the data available from weather.com.
And...

No. But that would be cool, wouldn't it? (someday)
