I need to learn how to find extremely detailed maps and the relevant meteorological data that goes with the location.

I want wind vectors and speeds.
I want mm of precipitation differences within a few km of area.
I want to see the sizes and shapes of specific property divisions.

Do you know where to find this level of specificity?
I know that level of detail exists and is recorded. pls advise me how to find it.

Thanks!

I would try the NOAA website; if you look hard enough, you might find these specific things.

Also: perhaps you could Google what you specifically want.

Within the Weather Channel website, they have very good forums with people who are REALLY into weather. I'd check them out, if I were you.

I'm sure one of the people within these forums could guide you toward what you're looking for.

I'm into the weather myself--but perhaps not to the extent you are.

I do not know what country you reside

But in the USA some of that you might have to pay for, some are free.
USA Link http://www.americanwx.com/models/index.html

Even if you can't afford a subscription to model sites, on the forums they will relay and discuss what the models say, how good they are etc.

I really love maps - especially land maps. Can look at maps for hours. They make me feel like a pirate on a treasure hunt. :D
