1. A method of displaying forecast weather data, comprising the steps of:

  • receiving historical forecast weather data and real-time weather data on an asynchronous basis from a plurality of sources, wherein said plurality of sources provide a plurality of data types including actual measured weather variables, weather image data from satellites or radar, and simulated data from weather forecasting models; and

    wherein at least two of said plurality of sources have different time bases;

    normalizing said historical forecast weather data and said real-time weather data to a normalized time scale; and

    dynamically and selectably overlaying the normalized historical forecast weather data and the normalized real-time weather data to present a single, visual image enabling a visual comparison between the normalized historical forecast weather data and the normalized real-time weather data to determine accuracy of said historical forecast weather data.
